Using a comparative and broad perspective, Religion, Politics and
Society in Britain 800-1066 draws on archaeology, art history,
material culture, texts from charms to chronicles, from royal
law-codes to sermons to poems, and other evidence to demonstrate
the centrality of Christianity and the Church in Britain 800-1066.
It delineates their contributions to the changes in politics,
economy, society and culture that occurred between 800 and 1066,
from nation-building to practicalities of government to landscape.
The period 800-1066 saw the beginnings of a fundamental
restructuring of politics, society and economy throughout Christian
Europe in which religion played a central role. In Britain too the
interaction of religion with politics and society was profound and
pervasive. There was no part of life which Christianity and the
Church did not touch: they affected belief, thought and behaviour
at all levels of society. This book points out interconnections
within society and between archaeological, art historical and
literary evidence and similarities between aspects of culture not
only within Britain but also in comparison with Armenian
Christendom. A. E. Redgate explores the importance of religious
ideas, institutions, personnel and practices in the creation and
expression of identities and communities, the structure and
functioning of society and the life of the individual. This book
will be essential reading for students of early medieval Britain
and religious and social history.
