{"product_id":"the-emergence-of-the-english-susan-oosthuizen-9781641891271","title":"The Emergence of the English","description":"This book takes a critical approach to the assumption that the origins of the English can be found in fifth- and sixth-century immigration from north-west Europe. It begins by evaluating the primary evidence, and discussing the value of ethnicity in historical explanation. The author proposes an alternative explanatory model that sets short- and medium-term events and processes in the context of the \u003ci\u003elongue dur馥\u003c\/i\u003e, illustrated here through the agricultural landscape. She concludes that the origins of the English should rather be sought among late Romano-British communities, evolving, adapting, and innovating in a new, post-imperial context. Though focusing on England between the fifth and seventh centuries, this volume explores themes of universal interest--the role of immigration in cultural transformation; the importance of the landscape as a mnemonic for cultural change; and the utility of a common property rights approach as an analytical tool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Oosthuizen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1641891270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781641891271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ARC Humanities Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Susan Oosthuizen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996402024703,"sku":"9781641891271","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_464b6f3a-e66a-4edf-9bd7-199e0ed86681.jpg?v=1683341483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-emergence-of-the-english-susan-oosthuizen-9781641891271","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
