• An all-new version of the 900-year-old historical annals recorded by the scribes of Worcester Priory.
• Freshly updated for a 21st century audience.
• Introduced by historian, folklorist and venerable Blackadder chronicler JF Roberts, with an all-new in-depth essay.
The fourth in historian JF Roberts' new series of introductions to the ancient texts of British history, in audio and print.
The Anglo Saxon Chronicle was only the first of many English histories to be compiled over many generations in the scriptoria of Britain – the chronicle hammered out by monks in Worcester in the 12th century is the only one that made any claim to be 'ultimate', or 'The Chronicle of Chronicles'. Begun by one Florence of Worcester, and continued by his successor John of Worcester, this narrative takes its own route through our island story, and it's a route worth retracing afresh in the 21st century, for anyone with an interest in how the record of British history has evolved over the churning surges of time. This fresh edition of the Chronicle is introduced with a whole new contextualising essay from author and historian (and official Blackadder chronicler) JF Roberts.
