Commissioned and compiled in 1086 and written the following year, the Domesday Book is, as Michael Wood puts it in his Preface, "the nearest thing to a photograph of the ordinary people of [England] we could hope for." In Domesday: A Search for the Roots of England, Wood uses this extraordinary document as a jumping~off point for a wide~ranging exploration of England's past. What constitutes "Englishness"? When did it begin? How did it evolve from the time of the Domesday Book? Wood answers these questions through what he terms a "series of close~ups" of historic English locales, institutions, customs and people. His quest takes him from Roman Britain through the Viking Settlement, the richly sophisticated Anglo~Saxon period, the Norman Conquest and up to the 15th cemury, when the world chronicled by the Domesday Book entered a period of major transition.

Like his previous books, Trojan War and In Search of the Dark Ages (Facts On File, 1987 ), Domesday grew out of a BBC television series and is richly illustrated with both color and black~and~white photographs. Written in a warm, almost conversational tone, Domesday: A Searcli for the Roots of England takes readers on a richly imagined and always gripping journey into the past. …
