Loading... Migration and Mythmaking in Anglo-Saxon Englandby Nicholas Howe
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. No reviews no reviews | add a review
A revisionist interpretation of Anglo-Saxon England. Nicholas Howe proposes that the Anglo-Saxons fashioned a myth out of the 5th-century migration of their Germanic ancestors to Britain. Through the retelling of this story, the Anglo-Saxons ordered their complex history and identified their destiny as a people. Howe traces the migration myth throughout the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, in poems, sermons, letters and histories from the sixth to the eleventh centuries. No library descriptions found. |
