East Anglia's History
East Anglia's political and economic importance in the middle ages is plain for all to see, stemming initially from its crucial position on the eastern shores of the North Sea and its participation in the successive patterns of invasion and settlement of England. Archaeological evidence abounds: burial mounds, castles, great churches deriving from the wealth created by sheep, yeoman farmhouses, and market towns of eighteenth-century elegance. Behind these visible manifestations of the march of centuries lie particular histories, and these seventeen studies from the region's best scholars reveal some of those jigsaw puzzles of time, ranging from the Domesday herring industry by way of monaste...

Medieval East Anglia
Medieval East Anglia - one of the most significant and prosperous parts of England in the middle ages - examined through essays on its landscape, history, religion, literature, and culture. East Anglia was the most prosperous region of medieval England; far from being an isolated backwater, it had strong economic, religious and cultural connections with continental Europe, with Norwich for a time England's second city. The essays in this volume bring out the importance of the region during the middle ages. Spanning the late eleventh to the fifteenth century, they offer a broad coverage of East Anglia's history and culture; particular topics examined include its landscape, urban history, buildings, government and society, religion and rich culture. Contributors: Christopher Harper-Bill, Tom Williamson, Robert E. Liddiard, P. Maddern, Brian Ayers, Elisabeth Rutledge, Penny Dunn, Kate Parker, Carole Rawcliffe, James Campbell, Lucy Marten, Colin Richmond, T. M. Colk, Carole Hill, T.A. Heslop, A.E.

East Anglia
The region of East Anglia lies on the eastern coast, between the Thames estuary in the south and the Wash in the north, encompassing the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire and the southern parts of Lincolnshire. The level land is dominated by water: a network of rivers, stretches of coastal marshland and expanses of fens and broads, and the boundless expanses of sky served as inspiration to one of England's finest artists, John Constable. Surprisingly, it is one of the less well known areas of the British Isles but Talbot and Whiteman have teamed up again to produce a valuable guide to the area and a book that brings the region to life with 130 colour photographs and a thoughtful narrative that explores its history, people and legends.
