Converted during the seventh century by missionaries from Rome, Gaul and Ireland, the Anglo~Saxon Christians synthesised the disparate elements in their culture and achieved heights of scholarship and artistry. The Viking invasion brought a renewal of paganism, but the Scandinavian settlers in England gradually absorbed Christianity while not immediately dropping their northern mythology. Before the Norman Conquest there was a revival of enthusiasm for monasticism and fresh impetus was given to Christian art and learning. Quoting from medieval sources and drawing upon recent archaeological finds, this book traces the development of religious beliefs in Anglo~Saxon England, and the influence of religion upon everyday life. Anglo~Saxon literature is quoted both in Old English and in translation. Illustrations include Anglo~Saxon metalwork, carvings, manuscript illuminations and buildings. Seller Inventory # 2162201
