"A Literal Translation of the Saxon Chronicle" by Anna Gurney is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This translation seeks to present the Saxon Chronicle, an ancient record chronicling the history and events of Britain from the Roman occupation through early English kingdoms. The text covers a range of significant historical figures and events, providing insights into the origins of various British nations, Roman conquests, and the establishment of early Christian practices. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the geographical layout of Britain and the early inhabitants, including the Britons, Saxons, and Picts. It discusses the arrival of Romans under Julius Caesar and subsequent battles, setting the stage for the rise of new kingdoms in a landscape shaped by conflict and cultural exchanges. Through a series of annals, the translation begins to detail pivotal moments in British history, such as the birth of Christ and the establishment of Christian bishoprics, demonstrating the intertwining of faith and governance in shaping the identity of early England. This comprehensive historical narrative aims to preserve the chronicle's significance while making it accessible to contemporary readers.
