Recenzii
Conquered is beautifully produced and written with flair and great scholarly acumen. Parker teaches medieval English literature at the University of Oxford and she dedicates her book to her students. Because of the pandemic these young people, she points out, like the young people in her book, have had to cope with upheaval, loss and a sudden change in the expected course of their lives. They have faced it with courage and determination, but, she writes, "it is no doubt an experience that will remain with them".
In her superbly adroit new history, Eleanor Parker examines how memories of Edgar and his like - the generation that straddled the Conquest - survived, or were melded to meet the needs of the time.. It is much to the credit of Parker's sensitivity as a scholar that, almost 1,000 years later, she has been able to resurrect, often from silence, the pathos of those decades and the plight of those who endured them.
This outstanding, beautifully written history follows the young Anglo-Saxons whose lives were shattered by the Norman conquest.
This excellent book offers an original premise: that there is much to learn by considering the children whose lives were upended by the Conquest. Parker insightfully shows how the experiences of these children of Anglo-Saxons (among others) illustrate the accommodations being made in England as conquered and conquerors adjusted to the new reality, and reframed the 1066 narrative for future generations.
A child grasps a woman's hand as they flee a house being torched by two men seemingly unconcerned for their plight. This image, embroidered onto the Bayeux Tapestry several years after 1066, is a hauntingly timeless reminder of the devastation warfare and conquest can wreak on individuals, families and communities... Conquered narrates their stories vividly and knowledgably in a refreshing departure from popular narratives of the Norman Conquest, which concentrate on the political and military concerns of adult men.
Fascinating and accessible.
This book is a revelation. What it demonstrates is the international inter-connectedness of the pre-Norman secular and ecclesiastical aristocracy.
Eleanor Parker has written an innovative book in clear and evocative language. She invites the reader to engage with an idea we do not often consider-that many of the European historical sources from the late-11th century were written by people whose childhoods were defined by the Norman Conquest. Parker's use of Icelandic Sagas and other non-English texts shows us the world in which these "conquered" children lived and worked, exploring how their stories continued past 1066 and its aftermath.
Eleanor Parker brings to life what the upheaval of the Norman Conquest meant for men and women in England. Following the personal experiences of individuals, she eloquently evokes the loss and uncertainty of the age. This is a book of rich stories of misfortune, perseverance and adaptability, told in an accessible yet authoritative voice.
