Books by Marc Morris

1. Marc Morris, The Anglo-Saxons: A History of the Beginnings of England 400-1066 .  A pretty good book.  It has been criticized for focusing on “dead white males,” but isn’t this a history of dead white males in large part?  The photos are quite good.  My main problem is simply that I find the whole era inscrutable.  Still, if you wish to learn whether Aethelred the Unready was in fact…unready…this is one good place to go.
