The Anglo-Saxon Elite: Northumbrian Society in the Long Eighth Century

By Renato Rodrigues da Silva

In all of the literature on Anglo-Saxon England, rarely has the question of social class been confronted head-on. This study draws upon recent research into topics such as religious practice, emotions, daily life, and intellectual culture to investigate how the aristocracy of Northumbria maintained social dominance over wider society.
