"This is an admirable collection of papers raising important themes and offering a number of challenges to accepted orthodoxies about the nature and development of the separate areas of early medieval Britain." - Advance praise from an academic in the Department of History, University of Sheffield
"With so distinguished a team of contributors, this book cannot . . . fail to be a success." - Advance praise from an academic at the University of Glasgow
"This book inaugurates a historiography of the early medieval British Isles and suggests some of the ways in which it might be written. The fact that it does so intelligibly and often compellingly is a mark of the quality of the individual contributions and the significance of the collective project in which they are engaged." - Early Medieval Europe
