Select English Historical Documents of the Ninth and Tenth Centuries

Description: This book presents a study of charters in Old English from the ninth century, written during a period of significant political change. The charters are a diverse collection of legal and administrative documents that provide valuable insights into the social and economic history of the period, as well as the development of the English language. The author argues that these charters are not merely records of land transactions but also reveal much about the legal concepts, social relationships, and cultural values of the time. The book offers a comprehensive analysis of the charters, exploring their historical context, linguistic features, and legal implications. It sheds light on the role of the church in society, the development of royal authority, and the transformation of the English language from its early stages to the emergence of Middle English. The author's original research and in-depth analysis make this book an invaluable resource for scholars of Anglo-Saxon history and language, as well as anyone interested in the study of medieval society and culture.
