Riassunto

Made up of annals written in the monasteries of Winchester, Canterbury, Peterborough, Abingdon and Worcester, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle marks the beginning of the unmannered simplicity of English prose. Ranging from the start of the Christian era to 1154, the uniqueness of the chronicle as an historical and literary document makes it of compelling interset throughout.
