Hadrian's Wall
Archival Summary & Scope
Richard Hingley's *Hadrian's Wall: A Life* delves into the monumental structure's rich post-Roman history. While famous as a Roman frontier, built in the 120s AD and abandoned in the 5th century, this volume explores how the Wall has been imagined, represented, and researched from the 6th century to the present day. Illustrated with over 100 images, it examines the Wall's transforming political, cultural, and religious significance, including its pivotal role in shaping English identity and its appropriation as a symbolic boundary between England and Scotland. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of Britain's most iconic and well-preserved ancient monuments.Archival Categorization Notes
