Oxbow Books | 2010 | ISBN: 1842173952 9781842173954 | 229 pages | PDF | 12 MB
This volume will throw new light on the intellect of the earliest English - the way they thought, the way they viewed the world, and the way they viewed worlds other than this.
This book wholly succeeds in its task of furthering our understanding of the signals eloquent of the beliefs of the pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons, and will provide a starting-point for future attempts to understand the beliefs themselves.
