Summary: "History of the Anglo-Saxons, from the Earliest Period to the Norman Conquest" by Thomas Miller is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the history of the Anglo-Saxon people, tracing their origins and conflicts from the pre-Roman era through to the Norman Conquest. It aims to document the cultural and political evolution of Britain during a time of significant transformation. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone, lamenting the obscurity surrounding Britain's early history. It highlights the scarce records we possess about the ancient Britons and their customs, depicting them as a rudimentary society struggling against formidable beasts and other tribes. The narrative evokes a sense of mystery regarding the origins of civilization in Britain, pondering the depths of prehistoric life while establishing the ancient Britons' connection to the broader Celtic heritage. Miller also introduces the looming presence of Roman invaders, setting the stage for the dramatic historical conflicts that will shape the future of England.
