Relying heavily on primary literary sources and archaeological
scholarship, this study sheds new light on the development of towns
in early England from late Roman to late Anglo-Saxon times. After a
discussion of the problems of urban definition and typology, Russo
examines the background of Romano-British urbanism in its prime and
in its late Roman transformations. He demonstrates that late Roman
towns were virtually abandoned before the Anglo-Saxon invasions.
The emporia--new types of Anglo-Saxon towns--are analyzed on the
basis of written and archaeological evidence and are compared with
continental emporia. Finally, the origin and growth of the
Anglo-Saxon burgh is considered from its eighth-century Mercian
beginnings to the better known cases of King Alfred and his
successors.
Ethan Monroe always put his family first. However, he had no idea
what challenges he would face in his future. His world turned
upside-down when a violent stranger entered into his life and
sought to take away everything precious. Ethan was willing to give
up everything to fight for his family, but in doing so he gained
something unexpected.
