Review # 1 was written on 2017-07-04 00:00:00 Laura Miller Brilliant study of what gave birth to an English identity. Answer: the land, England. Ashe proves this through analyzing works like the Bayeux Tapestry, clerical histories, the earliest romance, and the Purgatory of St. Patrick (written by Marie de France). Ashe's knowledge and handling of resources is astounding, and her writing and organization enables a dilettante like me to comprehend the points she makes about historiography. Truly enlightening.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-28 00:00:00 Jerry Worley Very well written, gives good background on the matter.
