Origins of the English - 9780715631911

Origins of the English. National identity has been studied through a range of different types of evidence - historical, archaeological, linguistic and most recently genetic. This has caused another set of problems of interdisciplinary communication. In Origins of the English, Catherine Hills unravels these different perceptions and types of evidence to assess how far it is really possible to understand when and how the people living in south and east Britain became 'English'.
