It describes the academic discipline of Anglo-Saxonism; the methods of study used; the underlying assumptions; and the uses to which it has been put.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMethods and motives have changed over time but right from the start there have been the constant themes of Anglo-Saxon democracy and the rights of the freeborn Englishman. They have given rise to ideas and perceptions that have greatly influenced the development of English society and political history - e.g. the Peasants Revolt and the English Civil War. The idea of an early Anglo-Saxon democracy inspired the Levellers and is at the core of the English radical tradition and modern English nationalism. It also inspired the American revolutionaries, in particular Thomas Jefferson.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anglo-Saxon Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050241868016,"sku":"9781898281399","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781898281399_p0.jpg?v=1763611954","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781898281399","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
