The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Broché – 18 août 1998

4,8 4,8 sur 5 étoiles 32 évaluations

The first continuous national history of any western people in their own language, The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle traces the history of early England from the migration of the Saxon war-lords, through Roman Britain, the onslaught of the Vikings, the Norman Conquest and on through the reign of Stephen.

Michael Swanton's translation is the most complete and faithful reading ever published. Extensive notes draw on the latest evidence of paleographers, archaeologists and textual and social historians to place these annals in the context of current knowledge. Fully indexed and complemented by maps and genealogical tables, this edition allows ready access to one of the prime sources of English national culture. The introduction provides all the information a first-time reader could need, cutting an easy route through often complicated matters. Also includes nine maps.

Avis laissé en France le 15 avril 2002
If you are interested in the early history of England, this book is a must. Although not really qualified to judge the details of the translation
It is 'easy' reading. For the historians the text is fully commented, both linguistically and historically. Why 'only' 4 stars? Because the different manuscripts are not presented in an "easy to compare" format. I have no suggestions as to how to otherwise!

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Highly Organized and Readable
Avis laissé aux États-Unis le 9 avril 2013
This book is a translated, highly organized, adaptation of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. This is a government record of the deeds of the English through the dark ages. It is a government sponsored recounting of their history. Many of the poems and passages are every bit as good as the Bible.

An interesting read for anyone who wants to study the history of Dark Age England.

5,0 sur 5 étoiles Successor to Garmonsway's Translation
Avis laissé aux États-Unis le 27 octobre 2017
A good successor to Garmonsway's parallel translation of the various Chronicle texts - good translation, ample notes, solid introduction. It also has good maps and supplementary material for the history.

4,0 sur 5 étoiles Good edition of an important work
Avis laissé aux États-Unis le 12 octobre 2008
Michael Swanton's edition of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a good, handy reference in modern English. A group of manuscripts (eight in all) rather than a single unified book, the Chronicle is the first continuously-maintained vernacular national historical work in Western history. Swanton has here translated and edited the manuscripts to form a continuous whole, and included extensive notes.

I bought this edition in college and have used it for a lot of classwork and independent research since then. The translation is clear and simple and the notes are certainly helpful.

The only thing I dislike about this book is the way in which the text is presented. Rather than each manuscript being presented as-is, they are divided up and rearranged so that all of the manuscripts form a piecemeal chronology from Creation to the final entry in 1154. If you're trying to follow the account of a particular manuscript it can be frustrating, as you have to flip back and forth quite a bit, but this is really a small complaint.

Swanton has included a lengthy introduction that details the various manuscripts of the Chronicle, and extensive back matter including family trees, bibliography, maps, photos, and a detailed index of names and places.

Highly recommended.
