Synopsis

This is an introduction to the early Middle Ages in Ireland, often considered a Golden Age of literature, learning and the arts. Archaeological evidence for the period is particularly rich and Edwards provides a critical survey of it, introducing material from many recently discovered sites as well as reassessing the importance of earlier excavations. The author includes discussions of settlement, food, farming, craft and technology, the Church and art. She also provides an appraisal of the Viking impact on early medieval Ireland.

About this title

Review:

"Anyone who really wants to understand urban school reform must read High Stakes Education. In it, Lipman deals with both the macro and micro socio-cultural issues of urban schools. She deftly weaves together the political and the personal to tell a story that should outrage every caring citizen." - Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
