Описание: WINNER OF THE FRANK WATSON BOOK PRIZE 2021. SHORTLISTED IN SCOTLAND'S NATIONAL BOOK AWARDS 2021The first full-scale, interdisciplinary treatment of the wide-ranging connections between the Gaelic world and the Northumbrian kingdom.Northumbria was the most northerly Anglo-Saxon kingdom; its impressive landscape featured two sweeping coastlines, which opened the area to a variety of cultural connections. This book explores influences that emanated from the Gaelic-speaking world, including Ireland, the Isle of Man, Argyll and the kingdom of Alba (the nascent Scottish kingdom). It encompasses Northumbria's "Golden Age", the kingdom's political and scholarly high-point of the seventh and early eighth centuries, and culminates with the kingdom's decline and fragmentation in the Viking Age, which opened up new links with Gaelic-Scandinavian communities. Political and ecclesiastical connections are discussed in detail; the study also covers linguistic contact, material culture and the practicalities of travel, bringing out the realities of contemporary life. This interdisciplinary approach sheds new light on the west and north of the Northumbrian kingdom, the areas linked most closely with the Gaelic world. Overall, the book reveals the extent to which Gaelic influence was multi-faceted, complex and enduring. Dr FIONA EDMONDS is Reader in History and Director of the Regional Heritage Centre at Lancaster University.
Описание: In all of the literature on Anglo-Saxon England, rarely has the question of social class been confronted head-on. The Anglo-Saxon Elite: Northumbrian Society in the Long Eighth Century 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. Moreover, this monograph suggests that the crisis that brought an end to Northumbria as an independent kingdom was the product of the social contradictions produced by the ruling class as social domination developed over time. The analysis is divided into three broad parts – production, circulation, and consumption – both as a nod to Marxist historiography and also to signal a commitment to a methodology that situates the subject within a global context.

The story of the 50th (Northumbrian) Division in the Second World War is of interest to a much wider circle than the men who fought in it and their relatives and friends. For to a large extent the history of this famous formation is the history of the war. "Fifty Div," as it was known to soldiers all over the world, fought in most theatres of war. It formed part of the B.E.F. in France, and was the last division to leave Dunkirk. It re-formed quickly in England, and was soon on its way to the Middle East to take its place in the Desert Army. Under General Ritchie, then General Montgomery, it fought for nearly two years in the burning barren lands. With Africa won for the Allies, "Fifty Div" sailed to assault Sicily. When that campaign ended it sailed for home--and found itself ear-marked for an assault role on the Normandy beaches. This story is here set down, not by one man, but by many. The diaries, note-books, maps and letters of several hundred "Fifty Div" men have gone to its making. From them the story has been edited by Ewart Waide Clay (Green Howards), who served with "Fifty Div" for the greater part of the war, first as an infantry officer and later as a General Staff Officer at Divisional Headquarters. It is a story worthy of a great division, and of the North Country from which that division still draws its strength and inspiration.
