Formative Britain presents an account of the peoples occupying the
island of Britain between 400 and 1100 AD, whose ideas continue to
set the political agenda today. Forty years of new archaeological
research has laid bare a hive of diverse and disputatious
communities of Picts, Scots, Welsh, Cumbrian and Cornish Britons,
Northumbrians, Angles and Saxons, who expressed their views of this
world and the next in a thousand sites and monuments. This highly
illustrated volume is the first book that attempts to describe the
experience of all levels of society over the whole island using
archaeology alone. The story is drawn from the clothes, faces and
biology of men and women, the images that survive in their poetry,
the places they lived, the work they did, the ingenious
celebrations of their graves and burial grounds, their decorated
stone monuments and their diverse messages. This ground-breaking
account is aimed at students and archaeological researchers at all
levels in the academic and commercial sectors. It will also inform
relevant stakeholders and general readers alike of how the islands
of Britain developed in the early medieval period. Many of the
ideas forged in Britain's formative years underpin those of today
as the UK seeks to find a consensus programme for its future.
