Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Enquires into the 'intractable' problem found by Collingwood and Myres for the end of Roman Britain. A less empirical approach is offered to the two main issues, the magnitude of social change, and the emergence of a single cultural system seemingly independent of either western Roman or Germanic traditions. Lines of enquiry have been too fragmented by individual specialisms: instead, Giddens's theory of social structuration - which involves human action - helps to unravel 4th-5th century power structures, variously based on land, charisma, violence, etc. Thus both indigenous RB people and incoming Germanic settlers had equal chances to develop kingship. Town survival is unimportant compared to how fields of social discourse were altered by the new situation, which itself laid the basis of feudalism. | |||
