Reviews

This exciting, original study outlines an argument with implications for the course of medieval European history. It weaves together a surprising new argument from an imaginative examination of a wealth of new data from Anglo-Saxon England, Continental Europe and Scandinavia. The result is a thesis as original as the Pirenne paradigm to which it pays homage. -- Søren M. Sindbæk, Professor of Medieval Archaeology, Aarhus University, Denmark
