盎格魯-撒克遜簡(jiǎn)史

內(nèi)容概要

這是一個(gè)唯有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)與野蠻的忠誠(chéng)的時(shí)代，還是一個(gè)令人驚嘆的秩序井然的社會(huì)？國(guó)王們的沉浮緣何如此迅速？異教與耶穌基督的較量，誰將最終獲勝？羅馬帝國(guó)崩潰后的盎格魯-撒克遜時(shí)代是英國(guó)歷史的十字路口，是英格蘭社會(huì)發(fā)生全方位劇烈變革的時(shí)代。本書從政治、經(jīng)濟(jì)、宗教、文化、律法等各方面對(duì)約6個(gè)世紀(jì)的盎格魯-撒克遜時(shí)代進(jìn)行了翔實(shí)而透徹的剖析，展現(xiàn)了盎格魯-撒克遜人富有創(chuàng)造性的成就及對(duì)未來英國(guó)發(fā)展的影響。

章節(jié)摘錄

England in the early eighth century was a more sophisticated place thanithad been in the early seventh. A united English kingdom was still faraway, but the English were now starting to become aware ofthemselves as an ethnic and cultural unity. Bede may have felt this morekeenly than anyone: it is easy to forget how significant is the very title ofhis greatest work, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People. It wasbecause he saw the common destiny of his race fulfilled in the unitedEnglish Church that he could think of an 'English people'. But are thereany signs that secular government was also becoming morecomprehensive？ This is a hard question to answer, not least becausethere are more sources. On the one hand, institutions and conceptswhich show the strong side of eighth-century kingship may not be new,but merely recorded for the first time. On the other hand, the dynasticturmoils which show its weak side may not be new either: it is likely thatBede and his contemporaries glossed over such matters. This at leastcan be said: the eighth-century Mercian kings wielded as much militarypower as earlier over-kings; and they lived in a world of greater literacyand legality, of more firmly entrenched rights, which made their powermore stable and more capable of development.
