The Early History of the Church of Canterbury by Nicholas Brooks

The Early History of the Church of Canterbury by Nicholas Brooks

Now reissued in paperback, this critical study of the cathedral church of Canterbury, of its archbishops and of the community, from its foundation in AD 598 to the Norman Conquest is based on liturgical, art-historical, numismatic, architectural and archaeological evidence. An attempt is made throughout to understand the early history of the church without misleading interpretations and myths created by post-Conquest writers.

Nicholas P. Brooks is an Emeritus Professor of the University of Birmingham, having been Professor of Medieval History there from 1985 to 2004 and also Dean of the Faculty of Arts (1992-5). He is the author of numerous books and articles on Anglo-Saxon political, ecclesiastical and military
history, and is in particular an expert on the Archbishops and Cathedral community at Christ Church Canterbury in the pre-Conquest period. He was General Editor of Leicester University Press's 'Studies in the Early History of Britain' from 1978 to 1999 and of Ashgate Publishers' 'Studies in Early
Medieval Britain' from 1999 to 2007. He has been since 1995 the Chairman of the joint Research Project of the British Academy and the Royal Historical Society on 'Anglo-Saxon Charters.'
