Anyone have any book recommendations that either give a history of Britain/England during this era or any books that analyse the histories of Bede and other historians of the era?
Cheers

Re: Books on Englands History 0 AD - 800/900 AD
I too would like to find something devoted to this subject. The only book that comes too mind is a duology(or maybe it's a trilogy) chronicling the history of England. The first book takes place from 2,000 B.C.-1100 A.D. I think. I forget the author though.

Do you think the Golden Rule should apply to masochists as well?
92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 8% that still listen to real music, copy and paste this into your signature. yes that's right i dont listen rap..
Re: Books on Englands History 0 AD - 800/900 AD
I've never seen a book completely devoted to this subject. For more general information, you might want to try Norman Davies' Europe: A History or similar books on European/British history. Some internet sources might be helpful, too, unless you've taken in all you can from Wikipedia etc. There's no 0 AD, BTW.

Micheal Woods Dark Ages is very good.
So is David Starkeys Monarchy, the first volume.
Could Also read Bernard Cornwells Last Kingdom series.

Was going to mention Michael Wood. Hes great, also look at "In search of England" also by him.Originally Posted by Bopa the Magyar
Avoid Bernard Cornwell like the plague; the only decent bit of history in his books is the page long historical note at the back; the rest is crap.

Oh i have never heard of that book.
I'll go order it now off amazon.
What was wrong with Cornwells books? They are jolly good reads.

Rythmic, you need to get hold of Frank Stenton's "Anglo-Saxon England". This extensively covers the Anglo-Saxon period you are interested in and more.

Re: Books on Englands History 0 AD - 800/900 AD
I presume you are talking about Wood's "In search of England," right?
Look at my own "book recomendations" thread for more on Cornwell and how he is simply writing to please the mainstream with violence and love.
