The Emergence of the English

[A]t less than 150pp I was expecting a brief polemic, and read on with an increasing degree of astonishment at the breadth of knowledge and the depth of research it contained, marshalling arguments for and against the traditional views of a radically changed social, political and economic post-Roman landscape. In this slim volume, Susan Oosthuizen thoroughly reconsiders the question of what happened in Britain during the poorly documented fifth and sixth centuries ... The Emergence of the English is a stimulating book that is sure to generate much discussion. This book critically evaluates the prevailing idea that north-west European migration was central to the transformation from post-Roman to 'Anglo-Saxon' society in Britain, and explores the increasing evidence for more evolutionary change.
