This collection of research papers offers new insights into residential buildings, settlement patterns, the names and boundaries of fields and the legacy of developments in transport and industrialisation.
By Susan Oosthuizen. London: Bloomsbury 2013. ISBN 9781472507273. £45.00.
Current explanations for the origins of Anglo-Saxon England are generally based on the premise that older forms of social organisation did not survive on any scale into the post-Roman period. Common pastures are thought to have originated during the 5th and 6th centuries, and open fields are believed to have first appeared around the mid-9th century.
The argument presented here suggests a new paradigm. It proposes that some elements of the old Romano-British ? perhaps even prehistoric ? forms of collective social organisation persisted into post-Roman centuries, and goes on to argue that the impact of dynamic interaction between middle Anglo-Saxon lordly innovation and traditional social relations persisted not only in the medieval landscape but also in English culture more generally.
