The South East from 1000 AD, Paperback / softback Book

The South East from 1000 AD Paperback / softback

Part of the Regional History of England series

Paperback / softback

Description

A volume dealing with the regional and local history of South East England, this covers the landcape and society of the modern counties of Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex and Greater London, south of the Thames from late Anglo-Saxon times to the present.

The authors have tried to show the diversity that can be found within the region as well as common characteristics which illustrate the local peculiarities of the area.

The works in the series offer a synthesis of both historical and archaeological work in local areas.

Each region is covered in two linked but independent volumes, the first covering the period up to AD 1000 and necessarily relying on archaeological data, and the second bringing the story up to modern times.

It aims to portray life as it was experienced by the majority of people of South Britain or England as it was to become.

The authors look at the major historical events which have an impact on the reagion - wars, plagues, technological changes and socio-cultural trends amongst them - but they also stress the underlying continuity of rural and urban life.
