A very good overview of the Anglo-Saxon period written in an easy-to-read style.
A good, but extremely short introduction to English history 500-1066.
A good introduction to the Anglo-Saxon period of English history. Has reminded me that I enjoy history quite a lot and I'll be looking to read a few more of these short introductions before moving on to more serious works. It helps to give a brief overview of the subject. Although quite expensive they give a nice brief overview of the subject matter.

Blair's argument -- that the built form of Anglo-Saxon England did not, in general, lend itself to extensive archaeological preservation, and that it also reflects a set of social patterns distinct from those on the continent (or, notably, after the Conquest -- with elements of the continental pattern slipping in shortly before the Conquest) -- has important implications for how we understand the social and governmental patterns of the Anglo-Saxon period, and should be framed with Wormald's book on the origins of English law for anyone with an interest in the period beyond simply reading alliterative poetry or tracing the broad history of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms.… (lisätietoja)
