Bøker i Anglo-Saxon England 34 Volume Paperback Set-serien

This volume of Anglo-Saxon England provides fresh perspectives on familiar subjects, across all disciplines - whether literary, philological, legal, historical or palaeographical - in the field. Two Latin texts from the circle of Archbishop Wulfstan are published here in full for the first time. The volume also contains two pioneering essays in the histoire des mentalites.

This volume illustrates some of the exciting new paths of enquiry which are currently being explored in many diverse fields of Anglo-Saxon studies, including archaeology, legal history, palaeography, Old English syntax and poetic style, and Latin learning with its many reflexes in Old English prose literature.

Areas of study pursued in this book include a revealing grammatical document from eighth-century Northumbria; renewed excavations at Sutton Hoo are reported; the existence of an unnoticed late Old English prose version of parts of Gregory's Dialogues is pointed out. A comprehensive index to volumes 11-15 is also included.
