| Summary |
"The Greatest Story in the World, Period II: The Further Story of the Old World up to the Discovery of the New" by Horace G. Hutchinson is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. This volume continues the exploration of history from AD 100 up to around 1500, focusing on the interplay of cultures, power dynamics, and significant events during the decline of the Roman Empire and the rise of various barbarian tribes in Europe. The opening of this volume sets the stage for the transition from a well-established Roman Empire to a landscape marked by upheaval and transformation as barbarian tribes invade and settle in European territories. Hutchinson introduces Britain, emphasizing its historical position in relation to the Roman Empire and documenting the character and societal structures of the native Brythons, who faced invasions from various groups. Key events include the initial invasions led by the Romans and the resulting socio-political changes as the Empire struggled to maintain its grip amidst dissent and external pressures, leading up to a significant transformation of early British society under the Anglo-Saxons. This introductory part lays the foundation for a more extensive account of the European historical tapestry that unfolds throughout the rest of the work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
