Description
In the 7th and 8th centuries missionaries from Rome introduced Christianity to England. Ward discusses the literary and non-literary sources on the life of Anglo-Saxons in the years following their conversion. Both Mediterranean and Irish influences on devotional life are considered. The English religion which resulted was a mixture of Celtic, Roman and Anglo-Saxon influences.
