Early Medieval Britain was more Roman than we think. The Roman Empire left vast infrastructural resources on the island. These resources lay buried not only in dirt and soil, but also in texts, laws, chronicles, charters, even churches and landscapes. This book uncovers them and shows how they shaped Early Medieval Britain. Infrastructures, material and symbolic, can work in ways that are not immediately obvious and exert an influence long after their creators have gone. Infrastructure can also rest dormant and be reactivated with a changed function, role and appearance. This is not a simple story of continuity and discontinuity: It is a story of adaptation and transformation, of how the Roman infrastructural past was used and re-used, and also how it influenced the later societies of Britain. Use of digital methods to analyse the source base 2. Interdisciplinary understanding of post-Roman British history 3. Narrative of Early Medieval history of Britain written outside the rigid categories of "Anglo-Saxon" and "continuity"

Arvustused

Focusing on Britain from the end of the fourth century to the middle of the eighth century, Mateusz Fafinski considers how the Roman past was reactivated. [ ...] A book-length study of this phenomenon is a useful addition to the existing literature. [ ...] From the perspective of northern history, the discussion and interpretation of the evidence for a number of sites will be of interest.- Thomas Pickles, Northern History (2021),

Mateusz Fafinski examines the transition from Roman to early medieval Britain through the lens of Roman infrastructure, both material and symbolic. In this stimulating study of the latefourth to mid-eighth centuries, Fafinski urges greater nuance than traditional arguments for either continuity or discontinuity of Roman spaces and practices., - Jill Hamilton Clements, Speculum, vol 98, no 3, July 2023
