Their language and culture have had an impact on the modern world out of all proportion to the size of their homeland. But what do we really understand about their ancestry? Skilfully and accessibly blending together results from this cutting-edge DNA technology with new research from archaeology and linguistics, Jean Manco reveals a long and adventurous journey before a word of English was spoken. Going beyond a narrow focus on the Anglo-Saxon period, she probes into the deep origins of the Germani and their kin, and extends the story to the language of Shakespeare, taken to the first British colony in America. 650 0 $a Anglo-Saxons $x History. 650 0 $a Civilization, Anglo-Saxon. 650 0 $a English $x Origin. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181220010335.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3FE034C042411E988F8962C97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
