Overview
A vivid and surprising portrait of life in England 1,000 years ago. Uncovering wonderfully unexpected details, the authors bring this distant world closer than it has ever been before. Their research led them to an ancient and little-known document of the period, the Julius Work Calendar, a sharply observed guide which takes us back in time to a charming and very human world of kings and revelers, saints and slave-laborers, lingering paganism and profound Christian faith. The book concludes as the shadow of the millennium descends across England and Christendom. AD 1000 sees the arrival of such bewildering concepts as infinity and zero, along with the abacus.
