Immediately going to read it again. Too much to digest at one go. ...and now I have skimmed through it again it's going with the reference books on the shelf. It gives a persuasive view of a great sweep of English history, connecting the detail of written records, place names and archaeology with his ideas. Author attempts to trace earlier social organization connections from the Domesday Book data. For example, Domesday shows a certain area was organized a certain way ... was it reorganized by the Normans or a carry over of an earlier (Roman, Angle, Saxon, Danelaw, etc.) era? The author presents his interpretation for each of the different eras in an informative and entertaining way, supplemented with aerial pictures of manor field layouts, etc. A decent reference source. Great. Immediately going to read it again. Too much to digest at one go. ...and now I have skimmed through it again it's going with the reference books on the shelf.

In 1086, Domesday Book, perhaps the most remarkable historical document in existence, was compiled. This tremendous story of England and its people was made at the behest of the Norman king William the Conqueror. It was called Domesday, the day of judgement, because 'like the day of judgement, its decisions are unalterable'. In Search of the Roots of England is not only a study of the ancient manuscript but an attempt to analyse the world that Domesday Book so vividly portrayed. By skilful use of the Domesday record historian Michael Wood examines Norman society and the Anglo-Saxon, Roman, and even the Iron Age cultures that preceded it. 'Wood is a perceptive, entertaining and enthusiastic companion.' Sunday Times 'Wood is a lively storyteller.' Washington Post Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
