This is not a book about
the Anglo-Saxons, but a book about books about Anglo-Saxons. It
describes the academic discipline of Anglo-Saxonism; the methods of
study used; the underlying assumptions; and the uses to which it has
been put.
Methods and motives have changed over time but right from the start
there have been the constant themes of Anglo-Saxon democracy and the
rights of the freeborn Englishman. They have given rise to ideas and
perceptions which have greatly influence the development of English
society and political history - e.g. the Peasants Revolt and the
English Civil War. The idea of an early Anglo-Saxon democracy inspired
the Levellers and is at the core of the English radical tradition and
inspired the 18th century American revolutionaries.
