Book Reviews of In Search of the Dark Ages
Book Review: Time for some light
Summary: 4 Stars
An excellent book, exploring a thousand years of history through the lives and legacies of key figures. Boudicea, Alfred the Great, Offa, William the Conqueror and others.
Wood charts the development of Anglo-Saxon England, from a series of fractitious, warring kingdoms on the boundaries of the civilised world, to the wealthiest kningdom in Europe, with the oldest monarchy.
Throughout Micheal Wood bases his information on the latest archeological and historical evidence and analyses these to give a clear and accurate picture of events.
I gave it four stars only because the book can be rather hard-going at times, and a little too technical, but the reader can get past that, to appreciate this fascinating book.
