This volume draws together a series of papers that present some of the most up-to-date thinking on the history, archaeology and toponymy of Wessex and Anglo-Saxon England more broadly. In honour of one of early medieval European scholarship’s most illustrious doyennes, no less than twenty-nine contributions demonstrate the indelible impression Barbara Yorke’s work has made on her peers and a generation of new scholars, some of whom have benefitted directly from her tutorage. From the identities that emerged in the immediate post-Roman period, through to the development of kingdoms, the role of the church, and impacts felt beyond the eleventh century, the rich and diverse character of the studies presented here are testimony to the versatility and extensive range of the honorand’s contribution to the academic field.

Winchester's identity as a royal centre became well established between the ninth and twelfth centuries, closely tied to the significance of the religious communities who lived within and without the city walls. The reach of power of Winchester was felt throughout England and into the Continent through the relationships of the bishops, the power fluctuations of the Norman period, the pursuit of arts and history writing, the reach of the city's saints, and more. The essays contained in this volume present early medieval Winchester not as a city alone, but a city emmeshed in wider political, social, and cultural movements and, in many cases, providing examples of authority and power that are representative of early medieval England as a whole.

Britannia, figure tutélaire de la Grande-Bretagne, n'en a pas fini de se pencher sur son riche passé. D'une modeste île perdue au Nord-Ouest de l'Europe à l'Empire mondial le plus vaste de l'histoire, le destin de la Grande-Bretagne suscite en effet, et depuis longtemps, nombre d'interrogations sur le sort, voire le destin, de cette nation bien particulière. Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d'évoquer les récents enjeux de la redéfinition des domaines chronologiques convenus de l'histoire britannique, qu'ils soient traditionnels (comme la périodisation classique et institutionnalisée entre histoires « médiévale », « moderne » et « contemporaine ») ou qu'ils relèvent d'enjeux plus larges portant sur l'histoire de l'environnement, l'histoire impériale ou encore la global history. Il s'agit ici de croiser les réflexions sur la spécificité des périodes traditionnelles appliquées au domaine britannique et les perspectives plus générales des histoires globales contemporaines. Les Tudors, toujours « médiévaux » ? Le Long Eighteenth-Century, toujours aussi long ? La démocratie est-elle « trans-période » et dépasse-t-elle les âges comme les domaines géographiques ? L'histoire impériale bouscule-t-elle les scansions traditionnelles de l'histoire britannique ? Comment l'histoire de l'environnement articule-t-elle histoire globale et histoire « domaniale » britannique ? Qu'est-ce qu'en somme une période historique et y a-t-il à cet égard une spécificité des re-périodisations contemporaines de l'histoire des mondes britanniques ?
