Highlights
In his short and busy life Collingwood found time to pursue two quite separate careers: as a philosopher and as an archaeologist. In the latter career he followed in the footsteps of his father, William Gershom Collingwood (1854–1932), who as well as being an artist, an historical novelist, and secretary to John Ruskin, was an accomplished amateur archaeologist, and a stalwart of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society (Johnstone 1967)
Collingwood writes in An Autobiography of growing up in ‘a gradually thickening archaeological atmosphere’ (Collingwood 1939a:80)
Other work includes the chapters on Roman Britain in The Cambridge Ancient History (Collingwood 1934a, 1934b, 1936, 1939b) and the chapter on ‘Roman Britain’ in An Economic Survey of Ancient Rome (Collingwood 1937) and, as he mentions in An Autobiography, ‘about a hundred articles and pamphlets mostly written between 1920 and 1930’ (Collingwood 1939a:145)
Summary
In his short and busy life Collingwood found time to pursue two quite separate careers: as a philosopher and as an archaeologist. Collingwood wrote on Roman Britain, and its immediate aftermath; Myers wrote on the Anglo-Saxon invasions and settlements.
