Description

Explore the profound influence of religion on early English history with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. The Church in Anglo-Saxon Society examines how religious institutions acted as a primary force for change during a transformative era. From the initial establishment of monasteries in the seventh century to the rise of the local parochial system five hundred years later, this book tracks the evolution of spiritual and social structures. Readers will learn how the foundation of monastic sites, or minsters, between c.670-730 provided the recently pagan English with new methods for resource exploitation and ways of life. The text explains how these institutions helped integrate European culture into the English landscape, affecting everything from settlement patterns to economic behavior. This book is an essential resource for understanding how the Church shaped the culture, ideas, and organization of early Anglo-Saxon society.
