@caitlinrgreen Is it a sign that we've escaped the tyranny of the "century"- or the opposite?
@Pseudo_Isidore lol, possibly both---we've escaped from their embrace, but miss how comfortable they make us feel so have redefined them?!
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore This book inspired yesterday's half-earnest debate, written up by @MedievalAngie: http://bit.ly/1MutePC
@SebSobecki @Pseudo_Isidore @MedievalAngie wow... And who wrote that title quotation?! :-/
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore @MedievalAngie it packs just about every buzzword from 'long' to 'crisis'.
@SebSobecki @Pseudo_Isidore @MedievalAngie The tenth century one?! Yes, indeed!
@caitlinrgreen @SebSobecki @MedievalAngie "Structural Change between centralisation and fragmentation, external pressure and inner crisis."
@caitlinrgreen @SebSobecki @MedievalAngie It's really got it all.
Not much left of the poor short 9thC, what w/ "long 8thC" ending c.830 and "long 10thC" starting in c.890 or whenever... ;) @Pseudo_Isidore
Some 9thC Anglo-Saxon finds, just because :-)pic.twitter.com/E7cf15iJK9
Two more 9thC pieces, posted before but lovely :) St John w/ eagle head (Suffolk) & eagle of St John ring (Surrey):pic.twitter.com/V7sxd5SK4b
The eagle-headed St John, prob from a cross, is http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=84963&partId=1&images=true … The ring is http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=84994&partId=1 …
@caitlinrgreen @Pseudo_Isidore I agree - we should start a campaign for short centuries !
@matt1nnes Lol! Sounds like plan! ;) @Pseudo_Isidore
