{"product_id":"town-origins-and-development-in-daniel-russo-9780313300790","title":"Town Origins and Development in Early England, C.400-950 A.D.","description":"Relying heavily on primary literary sources and archaeological scholarship, this study sheds new light on the development of towns in early England from late Roman to late Anglo-Saxon times. After a discussion of the problems of urban definition and typology, Russo examines the background of Romano-British urbanism in its prime and in its late Roman transformations. He demonstrates that late Roman towns were virtually abandoned before the Anglo-Saxon invasions. The emporia--new types of Anglo-Saxon towns--are analyzed on the basis of written and archaeological evidence and are compared with continental emporia. Finally, the origin and growth of the Anglo-Saxon burgh is considered from its eighth-century Mercian beginnings to the better known cases of King Alfred and his successors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Russo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313300798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313300790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.55h x 6.46w x 1.18d","brand":"Daniel Russo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453307171071,"sku":"9780313300790","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6fbc325-74bf-45dd-8c24-93f36e5749a8.jpg?v=1777299482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/town-origins-and-development-in-daniel-russo-9780313300790","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
