This study, an introduction to the history of Anglo-Saxon England, examines the political history as well as the religious, cultural, social, legal, and economic issues that intertwine. In the book, the authors make use of original sources such as chronicles, maps, manuscripts and coins, works of art, archaeological findings and surviving buildings. The nature of power and kingship, the role of wealth, the rewards, conquests, and bloodshed in the ongoing struggle for power, the structure of society, the development of Christianity and the relations between church and secular power are analyzed, while specific topics are explored in 19 "illustrative essays".
