The Idea of Anglo Saxon England, 1066–1901 presents the first systematic review of the ways in which Anglo–Saxon studies have evolved from their beginnings to the twentieth century
Tells the story of how the idea of Anglo–Saxon England evolved from the Anglo–Saxons themselves to the Victorians, serving as a myth of origins for the English people, their language, and some of their most cherished institutions
Combines original research with established scholarship to reveal how current conceptions of English identity might be very different if it were not for the discovery and invention of the Anglo–Saxon past
Reveals how documents dating from the Anglo–Saxon era have greatly influenced modern attitudes toward nationhood, race, religious practice, and constitutional liberties
Includes more than fifty images of manuscripts, early printed books, paintings, sculptures, and major historians of the era
