The power, sophisitcation, unity and wealth of the late AngloSaxon state have long been underestimated. The shadow of defeatin 1066, and an assumption that the Normans brought about strong government and a unification that had not previously been there, has prevented many of the remarkable features of AngloSaxon society from being seen. In The AngloSaxon State James Campbell shows how strong, unified and wellgoverned AngloSaxon England was and how numerous and wealthy its inhabitants were. Late AngloSaxon England was also a country with a political class considerably wider than just the earls and thegns. William Stubbs vision of AngloSaxon England as a country with real representative institutions may indeed be truer than that of his denigrators. James Campbells work demands the rethinking of AngloSaxon history.
