The Norman Conquest in English History, Volume 1: A Broken Chain?
pursues a central theme in English historical thinking over seven
centuries. Covering more than half a millennium, this first volume
explains how and why the experience of the Norman Conquest prompted
both an unprecedented campaign in the early twelfth century to
write (or create) the history of England, and to excavate (and
fabricate) pre-Conquest English law. Garnett traces the treatment
of the Conquest in English historiography, legal theory and
practice, and political argument through the middle ages and early
modern period, examining the dispersal of these materials from
libraries afer the dissolution of the monasteries, and the attempts
made to rescue, edit, and print many of them in the late sixteenth
and early seventeenth centuries. These preservation efforts enabled
the Conquest to become still more contested in the constitutional
cataclysms of the seventeenth century than it had been in the
eleventh and twelfth. The seventeenth-century resurrection of the
Conquest will be the subject of a second volume.
