The question of the British presence in Anglo-Saxon England
readdressed by archaeologists, historians, linguists, and
place-name specialists. The number of native Britons, and their
role, in Anglo-Saxon England has been hotly debated for
generations; the English were seen as Germanic in the nineteenth
century, but the twentieth saw a reinvention of the German "past".
Today, the scholarly community is as deeply divided as ever on the
issue: place-name specialists have consistently preferred
minimalist interpretations, privileging migration from Germany,
while other disciplinary groups have been less united in their
views, with many archaeologists and historians viewing the British
presence, potentially at least, as numerically significant or even
dominant. The papers collected here seek to shed new light on this
complex issue, by bringing together contributions from different
disciplinary specialists and exploring the interfaces between
various categories of knowledge about the past. They assemble both
a substantial body of evidence concerning the presence of Britons
and offer a variety of approaches to the central issues of the
scale of that presence and its significance across the seven
centuries of Anglo-Saxon England. NICK HIGHAM is Professor of Early
Medieval and Landscape History at the University of Manchester.
