书籍简介

在罗马人到来之后，在诺曼征服之前，英格兰发生了什么？

这是一次黑暗中的旅程，作者、纪录片导演迈克尔•伍德试图在一个个名字中找到斯堪迪纳维亚半岛的印记逐渐消逝，欧陆之风越来越强劲的理由。在BBC纪录片的镜头之下，从布迪卡到亚瑟王，从萨顿胡到麦西亚的奥法、阿尔弗雷德大帝，再从光荣者埃塞尔斯坦、血斧埃里克到决策无方者埃塞尔雷德和征服者威廉，这些传奇性的君主串联起了古代英格兰的历史。

《追寻黑暗时代：古英格兰诸王纪》要做的就是带领读者走近看似混沌的黑暗时代，翻看那些薪火相传、口述传奇与历史血肉相融的神秘英国故事。

In Search of the Dark Ages is an unrivalled exploration of the origins of English identity, and the bestselling book that established Michael Wood as one of Britain's leading historians. Now, on the book's 40th anniversary, this fully revised and expanded edition illuminates further the fascinating and mysterious centuries between the Romans and the Norman Conquest.

Alongside portraits of Boadicea, King Arthur, Alfred the Great, Athelstan, and William the Conqueror, the story of England is expanded further to include new voices, with all-new chapters on fascinating characters such as Penda of Mercia, Aethelflaed Lady of the Mercians, Hadrian the African, Eadgyth of England, and Wynflaed. It's an altogether richer, more varied, and inclusive study on the creation of Britain.

Just as it did when it first published 40 years ago, In Search of the Dark Ages overturns preconceptions of the Early Middle Ages as a shadowy and brutal era, showing them to be a richly exciting and formative period in the history of Britain.
