Reviews
'... this book is an elegant step in the direction of a new history of this region during a formative era, and for its boldness and breadth it must be welcomed.' Richard Hodges, Antiquity 'This important synthesis of material evidence for early medieval Europe delivers even more than its title promises ... a major study that should be essential reading for students and researchers of the period.' Christopher Scull, The Archaeological Journal '... this is an important book that provides a much-needed comparative overview that cuts across traditional temporal and national boundaries. It is extremely well written and presented, and should be essential reading for any early medieval archaeologist or historian.' Stephen Rippon, Medieval Archaeology 'This book is a rich storehouse [of data], marshalled within a comparative framework undertaken at 'inter-site, regional and supraregional levels', and providing an exploration of the 'mental templates' which governed aspirations and action at all levels of society in the early Middle Ages. The exploration thus enabled is a valuable, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable journey.' Brian Ayers, History 'This is an excellent book. It is theoretically aware and critical in character but not densely speculative as a result; it lays out a mass of archaeological evidence. It provides us with an informative, clearly laid-out and appropriately commented survey of a substantial period within [a] considerable area of [northwest] Europe that has hitherto been far too obscure.' John Hines, Cardiff University 'Christopher Loveluck's magisterial survey of the emergence of medieval Europe from its origins in the fading Roman Empire is a solid contribution to the scholarship of the period.' Susan Oosthuizen, Landscape History
