Essays Presented to James Campbell
Edited by J.R. Maddicott and D.M. Palliser
James Campbell's work has established beyond doubt the impressive powers of the Anglo-Saxon state, with its ability to impose laws, raise revenue, undertake major works and consult the interests and wishes of its subjects. The essays in The Medieval State see the Anglo-Saxon state and its successors from a number of angles, as well as providing comparisons with its continental neighbours. These essays, presented to James Campbell by students and colleagues, are a tribute to the profound effect his work has had on the study of Anglo-Saxon England and the influence his teaching has had on very many historians.
