Edward Rutherfurd

This is truly a jewel of a book, the first book by Rutherfurd in his line of epic history-oriented novels that span the centuries of a whole country or a single city. For me, it's the second I read by the author (the first one being The Princes of Ireland). It is truly amazing; though, just like the scope of the storyline, I can barely start to explain why.

Hoare described it as "a city of high note in the remotest periods by the several barrows near it, and its proximity to the two largest stone circles in England, namely, Stonehenge and Avebury."

Mr. Rutherfurd's carefully researched reconstruction from chapter to chapter of minute fiscal changes in his fictional society reveals economic history through often intriguing detail. England's economic evolution was glacially gradual, and in the book, we follow its slow turn into political history. Capitalism comes very early to Salisbury Plain (a fulling mill of 1244 is "a combination of capitalism and feudalism that was typical of the times"). Indeed it is there almost from the very beginning, in the character of the first long-toed thief, whose gene pool spawns numerous hard-headed (and hearted) merchants. Bates, J. Barrington (2004). "Extremely beautiful, but eminently unsatisfactory: Percy Dearmer and the healing rites of the Church, 1909–1928". Anglican and Episcopal History. 73 (2): 196–207. ISSN 0896-8039. JSTOR 42612398. Medieval Sarum also seems to have had industrial facilities such as kilns and furnaces. [8] Residential areas were principally located in the two southern quadrants, built up beside the ditch protecting the inner bailey and Norman castle. [15] Henry II held his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, prisoner at Old Sarum. In the 1190s, the plain [ clarification needed] between Old Sarum and Wilton was one of five specially designated by Richard I for the holding of English tournaments. [30]The Domesday Book was probably presented to William I at Old Sarum in 1086, [2] the same year he convened the prelates, nobles, sheriffs, and knights of his dominions there to pay him homage [22] by the Oath of Salisbury. Two other national councils were held there: one by William Rufus in 1096 [14] :2 and another by Henry I in 1116, which has sometimes been described as the first English Parliament. [14] :2 William Rufus confirmed its bishop in various additional sources of income, which were later confirmed by Henry II. [14] :1 A three-star book is for me a book that is good, but it is also a book that could have been better. The fictional characters of the book’s first half, drew me in much more than those of the latter half. There is a continuity between the characters over the ages. Family traits are inherited from generation to generation. I find the stories woven around modern times to be ordinary, unexceptional, covered in other books many times before. The fictional episodes get shorter and shorter as we approach modern times. The latter day stories are too short, too superficial and nothing new. I became bored. Nineteenth-century liturgists theorized that the liturgical practices of Rouen in northern France inspired the Sarum liturgical books. The Normans had deposed most of the Anglo-Saxon episcopate, replacing them with Norman bishops, of which Osmund was one. Given the similarities between the liturgy in Rouen and that of Sarum, it appears the Normans imported their French liturgical books as well. [4] Dissemination [ edit ] Crittall, Elizabeth, ed.
