Edward the Elder
A very dense read. This work was intended for the Anglo-Saxon scholar and not the general audience or most undergraduates. If you are looking for a basic biography of who Edward the Elder was, you will be a little disappointed. The book will give you as much historical evidence as can be had - in pieces - as seen by numismatists, archaeologists, art historians, etc. For the average reader, I do recommend reading some chapters more than others - such as the one on Edward's youth, the one on monasteries and family cults, and the one on the churches of Winchester. Overall, the "Endpiece" ties up all that you will glean from this dense work. It is helpful to read that to help digest all that you have read/skimmed before it.
