Items related to The Saxon Age: Commentaries of an Era
Published in 1979 in hardback with dustjacket by Croom Helm, this 182 page book on 'The Saxon Age: Commentaries of an Era' by A. F. Scott presents a vivid portrait of the daily life of Saxon England. Using the first hand evidence of contemporary writers, artists and craftsmen, the book conveys the mood and style of the Saxons from the royal court to the peasant's hut. A wealth of information is offered, extending over 500 years. Chronologically presented, many diverse aspects of life are covered - towns, family, education, the arts, sports and pastimes, health, work and wages, religion, law and crime, historic events, warfare and happening on the sea. The illustrations have been carefully selected both for their relation to the text and for their own intrinsic value, and they exemplify the life of the period at every level. Here is constant change: Vikings, Saxons, marauders, settlers and slaves; the Church established, St. Columba, St. Augustine, the Venerable Bede, King Alfred the Great defeating the Danes and the scattered regions becoming a kingdom. While the Saxon Age is a valuable book of reference, it also makes compelling reading as a vivid and entertaining account of popular life. Contents: List of Illustrations; Acknowledgements; 1. Royalty; 2. Towns and Buildings; 3. Family; 4. Food and Drink; 5. Education; 6. The Arts; 7. Sports and Pastimes; 8. Health; 9. Work and Payments; 10. Religion; 11. Law and Crime; 12. Warfare; 13.
