Was the Old English Historia, by any chance, a political and religious manifesto for the emerging 'Kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons'? Do we deal with the literary cornerstone of a nascent English identity at a time when the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms were threatened by a common enemy: the Vikings? Andreas Lemke seeks to answer these questions - among others - in his recent publication. He presents us with a unique compendium of interdisciplinary approaches to the subject and sheds new light on the Old English translation of the Historia in a way that will fascinate scholars of Literature, Language, Philology and History. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis work was published by Saint Philip Street Press pursuant to a Creative Commons license permitting commercial use.
