Description of  The Daily Lives of the Anglo-Saxons (Volume 519) (Medieval and Renaissance Texts and Studies)

0866985751 pdf Essays in Anglo-Saxon Studies v.8 (Glasgow, 2015). Insights into the lives of any group of historical people are provided by three main types of evidence: their language, their literature and their material culture. The contributors to this volume draw on all three types of evidence in order to present new research into the lives of the Anglo-Saxons. The particular focus is on daily life the ordinary rather than the extraordinary, the normal rather than the exceptional. Rather than attempting an overview, the essays address individual scenarios in greater depth, but with an emphasis on shared experience.
