Tales from Irish History
Ireland has always been a land of heroes, but, in far-off days, these were not real men of flesh and blood. They were giants of such mighty size that stories of their deeds must needs be greater than any stories of mere men.

It is therefore invaluable that Hans Visser is able to bring method to this ‘model madness’ by grouping the various theories according to the time period for which their explanation is relevant, and further subdividing them according to their assumptions as to price flexibility and international financial asset substitutability.
The number of native Britons, and their role, in Anglo-Saxon England has been hotly debated for generations; the English were seen as Germanic in the nineteenth century, but the twentieth saw a reinvention of the German `past'. Today, the scholarly community is as deeply divided as ever on the issue: place-name specialists have consistently preferred minimalist interpretations, privileging migration from Germany, while other disciplinary groups have been less united in their views, with many archaeologists and historians viewing the British presence, potentially at least, as numerically significant or even dominant.
