Synopsis

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a seminal collection of annals chronicling the history of the Anglo-Saxons from the fifth century through the twelfth century. Written in Old English, this text encompasses a variety of styles'Äîfrom prose to poetry'Äîoften varying in tone and detail depending on the specific scribe and regional focus. Each entry, rich in socio-political context, reflects significant events such as the Viking invasions, the reigns of notable kings, and the gradual unification of England. The Chronicle serves not only as a historical record but also as a mirror of the evolving cultural identity of early medieval England. Compiled by various scribes in different monasteries, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle illustrates a profound engagement with the sociopolitical atmosphere of the time. Notably, figures like King Alfred the Great are often credited with its preservation and promotion, revealing the intersection of literature and leadership. This tradition of historiography reflects the Anglo-Saxons' dedication to recording their own narratives, amidst external pressures and invasions, ultimately shaping their national consciousness. For readers interested in the rich tapestry of English history or the evolution of the English language, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is an indispensable text. It provides a vivid window into a formative period of British history, engaging both scholars and casual readers alike with its compelling narrative and intricate insights into the society that birthed it.

    Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland's population speak the language.
    However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.

    Making Makers presents a comprehensive history of a seminal work of scholarship which has exerted a persistent attraction for scholars of war and strategy: Makers of Modern Strategy. It reveals the processes by which scholars conceived and devised the book, considering both successful and failed attempts to make and remake the work across the twentieth century, and illuminating its impact and legacy. It explains how and why these volumes took their particular forms, unearths the broader intellectual processes that shaped them, and reflects on the academic parameters of the study of war in the twentieth century. In presenting a complete genesis of the Makers project in the context of intellectual trends and historical contingency, this book reflects on a more complex and nuanced appraisal of the development of scholarship on war. In so doing it also offers contributions to the intellectual biographies of key figures in the history of war in the twentieth century, including Edward Mead Earle and Peter Paret. Making Makers contributes to an intellectual history of military history and contextualizes the place of history and historians in strategic and security studies. It is not only a history of the book, but a history of the networks of scholars involved in its creation, their careers, and lines of patronage, crossing international boundaries, from Europe to the USA, to Asia and Australia.
