{"product_id":"b07r9j6gqn","title":"The Emergence of the English (Past Imperfect)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book takes a critical approach to the assumption that the origins of the English can be found in fifth- and sixth-century immigration from north-west Europe. It begins by evaluating the primary evidence, and discussing the value of ethnicity in historical explanation. The author proposes an alternative explanatory model that sets short- and medium-term events and processes in the context of the  longue durée , illustrated here through the agricultural landscape. She concludes that the origins of the English should rather be sought among late Romano-British communities, evolving, adapting, and innovating in a new, post-imperial context. Though focusing on England between the fifth and seventh centuries, this volume explores themes of universal interest―the role of immigration in cultural transformation; the importance of the landscape as a mnemonic for cultural change; and the utility of a common property rights approach as an analytical tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":54232040046955,"sku":"YSL27220","price":11.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/1674\/0203\/files\/61Gj4ojjKJL._SY1500.jpg?v=1792835670","url":"https:\/\/www.booktavero.com\/products\/b07r9j6gqn","provider":"BookTavero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
