This collection, in examining many aspects of pre-Norman Britain, helps to illuminate how Anglo-Saxon society contributed to the continuity of knowledge between the ancient world and the modern world. But as well, it posits a view of that society in its own distinctive terms to show how it developed as a synthesis of radically different cultures.The Bayeux Tapestry is examined for its underlying political motivations; the study of Old EngliCivilization, Anglo-SaxonEnglandCivilizationTo 1066Civilization, Anglo-Saxon.942.01Woods J.
