Section Information for Spring 2015
In this course we will consider the political, cultural, and religious history of England from the end of Roman control in the fifth century to the Norman conquest of the eleventh. Our primary aim is to think through the early kingdoms of England both for their own unique characteristics and as examples of wider trends in the post-Roman history of Western Europe. Topics to be addressed include: the changing nature of kingship and rule; the spread of Christianity; interaction between England and its Celtic neighbors to the north and west and its continental connections with the Frankish kingdoms and the papacy; art and archaeology; and the alleged debts of modern Anglo-American political and legal culture to the Anglo-Saxon past.
