THE ANGLO-SAXONS -
THE VERDICT OF HISTORY​
​
Not long after the Norman invasion, William of Malmesbury was seeing it as an unmitigated disaster, while Geoffrey of Monmouth cast the Anglo-Saxons as cruel invaders and resurrected the old Arthurian myths. This last of the trilogy on the Anglo-Saxons explores their legacy, and asks whether they have any meaning in modern England.
"This work shows the various ways the Anglo Saxons have been seen in history, there is a solid core of identity. That there is such a people as "the English"."
