Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a range of valuable manuscripts from the era of the Norman Conquest to the end of the 12th century. The chronological scope of this volume captures an exciting evolution in the written landscape of England. Anglo-Saxon literature, initially dominated by a focus on saints' lives and legends, gradually gave way to a wider range of topics such as historical accounts and chronicles. These manuscripts reveal a sophisticated storytelling tradition with a depth of historical insight. The Norman scribes who followed brought their unique perspectives and literary conventions to the mix. The book provides a glimpse into how their narratives meshed, and the currents of cosmopolitanism that shaped this period of English history. The evolution of the English language and literature is a fascinating thread running through these texts.
