The Material Culture of Daily Living in the Anglo-Saxon World: Exeter Studies in Medieval Europe

Editat de Gale R. Owen-Crocker, Maren Clegg Hyer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 apr 2013
In this study of Anglo-Saxon daily life, the editors and contributors detail the exploitation of animals for clothing, meat, and parchment; describe the textiles used for dress and furnishing as well as the ships used for travel, trade, and transport; explain the manufacturing processes behind the production of fine metalwork; and discuss the realities of living with ill health and disability. This book demonstrates that an understanding of the material culture of the Anglo-Saxon world can inform reading and scholarship in all areas of Anglo-Saxon studies.
