BRITAIN AND IRELAND IN EARLY CHRISTIAN TIMES A.D. 400-800
By Charles Thomas
The four centuries between the end of the Roman occupation and the first Viking raids are the most obscure in British history. Professor Charles Thomas goes a long way towards re-creating this strange and shadowy era. He gives a succinct account, based on his own research and personal insights, of these formative centuries and their major legacies--migration and settlement, the rise of Christianity, and the spread of spoken and written languages.
He covers developments throughout the British Isles, with many references to Cornwall. The text, supported by numerous photographs, drawings and maps, concentrates on four themes: "The End of Roman Britain," "Invaders and Colonists," "Christianity" and "Home and Hearth."
