THIS book attempts to give an account of the early history of the English nation, so far as the information at our disposal permits. The author ventures to hope that in spite of its many shortcomings it may serve to call attention to a field of investigation which, though rich in promise, has been greatly neglected, especially in this country. In general he has sought to make use of all branches of ethnological study-history, tradition, language, custom, religion and antiquities. Owing however to the backwardness of archaeological research throughout the north of Europe, except in Denmark and Sweden, it has not been found possible to treat the last of these subjects in a manner at all commensurate with its true importance. Vhen this branch of study has been developed it will perhaps be possible to obtain more light on the affinities of the English nation in times anterior to those to which the earliest heroic traditions refer. At present, it need hardly be said, we hav Table of Contents CHAPTER; I ENGLAND IN THE SIXTH CENTURY; II THE WEST SAXON INVASION; III THE INVASION OF KENT; IV THE SAXONS, ANGLES AND JUTES IN; "; BRITAIN; V Tm; SAXONS, ANGLES AND JUTES ON THE CONTINENT; VI THE KINGS OF ANGEL; NOTE THE EARLY KINGS OF THE DANES; VII THE AGE OF NATIONAL lIIGRATIONS; VIII THE SAXONS AND ANGLES IN RO:IAN T1lIES; IX THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE ANCIENT GERMANI; X THE CULT OF NERTHUS; XI KING AETHELWULF'S lIYTHICAL ANCESTORS; XII SOCIAL CONDITIONS OF THE RO'IAN PERIOD; ADDENDA; INDEX; lL'PS; 20; 35; 54; 207; 345; 347; ENGLAND AT THE END OF THE SIXTH CENTURY to face page I I; N' GERMANY, HOLLAND, ETC AT THE BEGINNING; OF THE SIXTH CENTURY; THE NORTHERN PART OF PTOLEliY'S GERMANIA; :-JW GERMANY ETC IN THE FIRST CENTURY; "; "; "; " I 12; "; " 205 About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science,

historian linguist university professor
Clare College.
He took a leading role in integrating the philological study of Old English with archaeology and history and, by bringing the study of Old English from the Faculty of English to Archaeology and Anthropology in 1928, founded what was to become the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic. In this he further developed the theory of a Heroic Age which he had previously stated in a publication of 1912. He was born in Thornhill, West Yorkshire, and was educated at Wakefield Grammar School and Clare College, Cambridge.
He was Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Cambridge from 1912 to 1941 and has, since 1990, been commemorated by the annual H. M. Chadwick Lecture in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic.
In 2015 he was the subject of the scholarly article collection H M Chadwick and the Study of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic in Cambridge, edited by Michael Lapidge (CMCS Publications).
