Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "This is a monumental work, exhausting in its detail but never losing its sense either of the broader picture or the impact at the human level (where possible: archives and sources pertaining to Alt Clud, the post-Roman 'Kingdom of the Rock' around what we now call Strathclyde, are notoriously patchy and vague). Davies visits the places he writes about, and quotes their songs, defiant or melancholy as needs be. If this makes you think of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, you'd be on the right lines: and Davies, in his introduction, says that early exposure to that work is what inspired him to become a historian in the first place. Sometimes, at over 830 pages including notes and index, this book is overwhelming. But it is worth it. You will learn something. I certainly did." - Nicholas Lezard.
