Domesday Book (also known as Domesday, or Book of Winchester), was the record of the great survey of England completed in 1086, executed for William the Conqueror.
From the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, it is known that the planning for the survey was conducted in 1085, and from the colophon of the book it is known that the survey was completed in 1086.
Domesday Book was originally preserved in the royal treasury at Winchester (the Norman kings' capital).
DoomsdayBook begins in Oxford in a future where time travel is used for historical research.
This is a book about two very different societies, about how each responds to an approaching crisis and how society in the 21st century can find itself just as helpless in the face of a natural disaster as society in the 14th.
The Doomsdaybook promises, by its provocative cover blurb "to explore the ageless issues of evil, suffering and the indomitable will of the human spirit." What it does, rather, is explore the many limitations and cheap devices of a mediocre novelist and her apparent lack of editor: an ageless problem in itself.
