The Anglo-Saxon influence on the Carolingian world has long been
recognised by historians of the early medieval period. Wilhelm
Levison, in particular, has drawn attention to the importance of
the Anglo-Saxon contribution to the cultural and ecclesiastical
development of Carolingian Francia in the central decades of the
eighth century. What is much less familiar is the reverse process,
by which Francia and Carolingian concepts came to influence
contemporary Anglo-Saxon culture. In this book Dr Story offers a
major contribution to the subject of medieval cultural exchanges,
focusing on the degree to which Frankish ideas and concepts were
adopted by Anglo-Saxon rulers. Furthermore, by concentrating on the
secular context and concepts of secular government as opposed to
the more familiar ecclesiastical and missionary focus of Levison's
work, this book offers a counterweight to the prevailing
scholarship, providing a much more balanced overview of the
subject. Through this reassessment, based on a close analysis of
contemporary manuscripts - particularly the Northumbrian sources -
Dr Story offers a fresh insight into the world of early medieval
Europe.
