During the fifth century following the withdrawal of the Roman
military establishment from England, the armed incursions of the
Angles, Saxons, Jutes and others of the Barbarian tribes from
across the North Sea increased, and soon became a surge. After a
relatively short time the subjugation of the British was complete
and England a patchwork of warring domains and isolated
settlements. Yet within the space of two centuries the English (as
the tribes may collectively be called) had achieved a sense of
themselves that may fairly be described as nationhood. It is the
evolution of this sense and of the distinctive characteristics of
England and the English that gave it form and substance which
Geoffrey Elton traces through twelve centuries. The result is the
first one-volume history of the English nation from its origins to
the present for over twenty years: it is a "tour de force."
