Hey #Twitterstorians, what's the best one-volume history of England up to the Conquest?
Yes, absolutely, same! It's long in the tooth, but still very fond of it!

Just read old TLS review of Higham & Ryan. Reviewer *very* reluctantly concedes that it probably, on balance, ought to replace Campbell et al. Says latter better written & argued

This is definitely a common feeling, I think! But 30+ years on, it's needed and it's a solid book for getting a grounding in the period as understood in the 2010s :)

Oh yes, something needed to be done - and they've done a very decent job all things considered! (Also note that George who reviewed it for the TLS is brilliant and lovely, but notoriously cantankerous.)

Ha! Good to know
