Potts is a patient and intellectually inquisitive work. Instead of accepting loss of records as a constraint, he uses this as a chance to explore. His prose fills the gap between scholarly analysis and the ability to tell stories that can be comprehended by a wider audience.
Steve Potts, in Speculation on the Late Anglo-Saxon Kings of Lindsey, unites decades of research, providing readers with a new way of looking at a kingdom that is frequently forgotten in mainstream history. The interest in unearthing concealed histories and his creative style of historical interpretation places him as a unique voice in the early medieval English history.
