Pub Date: August 2021
'Each chapter presents a broad thematic essay, many of which compare different types of source materials and different regions. The whole is a complementary multi-faceted exploration of the roles of water in the life and landscape of the Anglo-Saxon period. [...] These chapters are very accessible, wide in scope, and will be useful to students and specialists alike [in] a clear and well co-ordinated book. [...] Water and waterways are not taken here simply as the subjects of an environmental history, but rather as factors which determined human interaction with land and wildlife, and with each other. Waterways delimited properties as well as the possibilities for commerce, and they shaped understandings of the underworld and the world to come.'
