Excerpt from The Story of the Battle of Edington THE following account in detail of the Somerset Danish Campaigns which culminated in the Battle of Edington and the famous Peace of Wedmore in a.d. 878 is founded chiefly on previous notes contributed by myself to the Proceedings of the Somerset Archæological Society, vol. xlvi (1900), under the heading of "The Quantocks and their Place-Names"; on my "Land of Quantock," published in 1903; and on "The Sequel to the Battle of Edington," an article contained in the Proceedings of the Somerset Archæological Society of 1907, etc. In company with other Somerset archæologists I owe a debt, also, to the original suggestions of Dr. Clifford as to the site of the Battlefield of Edington and the surroundings of Athelney. It is a matter of regret that English, and especially Oxford students of the Anglo-Saxon Period, have not treated the Alfred campaigns in the thorough and comprehensive spirit displayed by Dr. Reinhold Pauli and Dr. J. M. Lappenberg, or mastered the ancient geography of England with the care of the more modern Dr. W. Reinhard, of Leipzig.

1999 marked the eleven-hundredth anniversary of the death of Alfred the Great, and to mark this event, two international conferences were held to re-evaluate and contextualise Alfred's achievements and the developments of his reign. This volume includes papers given at both events and provides substantial assessments, by leading scholars, of issues of source-criticism, of the large corpus of Old English literature associated with Alfred and of developments in government and society in late ninth-century England. It also explores how Alfred and his kingdom related to the wider geo-political and cultural situation in the British isles and continental Europe, and closes with a substantial survey of the uses and shifts in Alfred's reputation in the centuries following his death. This substantial and wide ranging volume will become a standard reference work for anyone interested in Old English literature or Anglo-Saxon history, and will set the pattern of future scholarly debate.

Excerpt from Battles and Battlefields in England Had fate distributed our historic battles equally over England there would have been almost enough to go round, and nearly every English county would have had its battlefield to show. But they have not been allocated on so equitable a principle. The north of England has had to pay the penalty of its proximity to the per fervid Scot; and it is partly in consequence of this that Northumber land, Durham, and Yorkshire account among them for more than one-third of the total. Three times in the first named of these counties, once in the second and once in the last, have Scotch and English closed in deadly conflict. Twice in Northumberland and twice in Yorkshire did the Red and White Roses set the battle in array against each other, and on the last occasion at Towton, for one of the fiercest and bloodiest of all the fights that ever were fought on English soil. But next to keeping the northern marches of the kingdom, or lying adjacent to one of the warden shires, contiguity to and command of the capital was the surest claim on the attentions of contending armies; and Hertfordshire, that cockpit of Yorkists and Lancastrians, comes next with its two battles of St. Albans and its epoch-making field of Barnet. No other county has attained to the honours of more than two, and out of the whole forty as many as two-and-twenty contain no historic battlefield at all. Fate and the fortune of war, the accident of geographical position, or of the territorial distribution of the power of the great feudal lords.

The Vikings hold a particular place in the history of the West, both symbolically and in the significant impact they had on Northern Europe. Magnus Magnusson's indispensable study of this great period presents a rounded and fascinating picture of a people who, in modern eyes, would seem to embody striking contradictions. They were undoubtedly pillagers, raiders and terrifying warriors, but they were also great pioneers, artists and traders - a dynamic people, whose skill and daring in their exploration of the world has left an indelible impression a thousand years on.
