Master Wace

The Chronicle of the Norman Conquest (Illustrated) Master Wace

The Norman Conquest of England in the 11th Century transformed the English language, culture, and government forever. This book was published at the onset of the Victorian Age and was instrumental in shaping the perception of Englishness which would typify that remarkable time. Though out of date, Wake's stirring narrative gives a glimpse of the role the conquest and the Battle of Hastings played in the culture of the time.
