Reviews

As this book so aptly shows, a considerable amount of history can be teased out of a careful analysis...a book on coins that can be enjoyably read cover to cover. Murray Eiland, Minerva Magazine.


Review from previous edition ... very good bibliography ... practically every pertinent piece of information has been dug out and put in its right place. Archaeological Journal Gannon's book presents a wide variety of hitherto understudied material in a clear and thoughtful way and will make a major contribution to the study of Anglo-Saxon art as a whole and the discussion of how the art of post-Roman Europe relates to a wide variety of sources and influences. Alan M. Stahl, Dibner Institute for the History of Science and Technology, MIT ...an up-to date source of information on numismatic research and relevant controversies. Fran Colman, Folia Linguistica Historica, Vol. 27 Very few recent books on early Anglo-Saxon history raise more important questions than this one does. English Historical Review Dr Gannon is to be warmly congratulated on a fine volume, containing much that her colleagues and friends will find new and stimulating The British Numismatic Journal As this book so aptly shows, a considerable amount of history can be teased out of a careful analysis...a book on coins that can be enjoyably read cover to cover. Murray Eiland, Minerva Magazine
