Review:

"I am very grateful that you have made available to students this splendid and still vital, this very major, piece of historical thinking and writing."--R. Brentano, University of California, Berkeley

"For a broad and balanced survey of every aspect of Anglo-Saxon society in the movement of five hundred years there is nothing to approach Professor Stenton's book."--Times Literary Supplement

"Professor Stenton's book [is] on of the outstanding volumes in the series of which it forms a part, and one of the most valuable contributions ever made to our knowledge of the history of our own land."--English Historical Review
