The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the
main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth
century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British
specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English
for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a
crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the
830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of
St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop
Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician
Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and
interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval
annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on
Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish
king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much
evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L.
Nelson offers in this volume both an entree to a crucial
Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of
teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of
St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students
and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval
languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an
interest in the development of European culture and society. -- .
