Beskrivning
The Norman Conquest in English History, Volume 1: A Broken Chain? pursues a central theme in English historical thinking over seven centuries. Covering more than half a millennium, this volume explains how and why the experience of the Norman Conquest prompted both an unprecedented campaign in the early twelfth century to write (or create) the history of England, and to excavate (and fabricate) pre-Conquest English law. Garnett traces the treatment of the Conquest in English historiography, legal theory and practice, and political argument through the middle ages and early modern period, examining the dispersal of these materials from libraries afer the dissolution of the monasteries, and the attempts made to rescue, edit, and print many of them in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries.

In an impressive display of scholarship, deploying a diverse range of sources, Professor Garnett shows how the cataclysm of 1066 was not merely a moment in time but the occasion of legal and constitutional controversy, even anxiety, for centuries thereafter. This groundbreaking study will be important reading for students of medieval and early-modern English history, political thought and legal history.
