Thomas, Hugh M.
The cultural and linguistic gulf between the English and the conquering Normans after 1066 is evident and marked but why, after a period of hostility, revolt and violence did `Englishness' win out as the principal ethnic identity of those living in Britain?

These twelve papers, from a conference held by the Manchester ...
