| Summary |
"The History of England, from the Earliest Times to the Norman Conquest" by Thomas Hodgkin is a detailed historical account written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the political history of England leading up to 1066, providing insight into various political dynamics, as well as the cultural and societal influences that shaped the nation during its formative years. Hodgkin's narrative is pertinent for those interested in the complexities of early English history and the transitions from prehistoric societies to more structured governance. At the start of the text, Hodgkin outlines the intent and structure of his comprehensive history, emphasizing the necessity to compile recent historical advancements and insights into a coherent narrative. He introduces the opening chapters which discuss England's prehistoric period, notable archaeological findings, and the arrival of significant historical figures, such as Julius Caesar, who marked the beginning of recorded history in Britain. The beginning serves not only to set the scholarly approach Hodgkin intends to take but also to present the numerous influences—geological, ethnological, and cultural—that have sculpted England long before the Norman Conquest.
