Background Information...

Who were the Anglo-Saxons? What were their origins? How, why, and when did they come to Britain? Did they really \"invade\" the former Roman province of Britannia, or was their coming in reality a gradual, albeit often violent, migration? Despite the fact that Britain was \"the darkest corner of Europe in the Dark Ages\", Richard Barber has gathered together the few remaining scraps of literary evidence - from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and Beowulf to the writings of Gildas and Bede - to provide a tantalizing glimpse of that most enigmatic of peoples: the Anglo-Saxons.

ABOUT FOLIO SOCIETY

Great books should be outstanding not only in literary content but also in their physical form: this has been the philosophy of The Folio Society since it was founded in 1947 by Charles Ede, with a dream of publishing beautiful books that would be affordable to everyone. Our pleasure in reading is enhanced by the book itself, in which typography, illustration, paper, printing and binding all play a part in creating a harmonious whole. In a world of declining publishing standards, where most books are cheaply printed, and bound using low-grade materials, The Folio Society resolutely sets store by traditional values of excellence; for our designers and production personnel the term \'quite good\' means \'no good\': only the best is good enough.

In our 66-year history, Folio has published an astonishing range of works; fromMoby-DicktoPather Panchali, and from theQur’ânto Kerouac’sOn The Road. The quality of our books as tactile and aesthetic objects has been a constant hallmark, but members (some of whom have been with us from our inception in 1947) have long looked beyond our exceptional covers, to the standards we uphold for each and every text. From introducers who make up the great names of modern literature and academia, and editors and picture researchers who ensure unrivaled standards of research and textual work, to our artists who have swept the board in so many illustrations awards – Folio offers a complete experience for the book-lover.
