"Anglo-Saxon Britain" by Grant Allen is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the period of early English conquest and focuses on the social aspects of life in Britain during that time, rather than solely political events. The author aims to present a sketch of the Anglo-Saxon influence on the development of modern British life, drawing attention to the cultural and societal elements introduced by the early settlers. At the start of the text, Allen provides an overview of the origins of the Anglo-Saxon people, detailing their ancestral roots in Central Asia. He highlights their transition from a fierce warrior culture to settling in Britain, describing the process of colonization and the new social structures that emerged. The narrative reflects on the interaction between the Anglo-Saxons and the indigenous Celtic populations, emphasizing the complexities of this early period in British history. Furthermore, Allen points out the significance of language and the evolution of community identities that shaped the emerging nation of England. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
