- Book Synopsis
- Contributions to the forty-eighth volume of Anglo-Saxon England focus on aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and history across a period from the sixth to the twelfth century. This volume begins with an examination of Beowulf fitt II and the Andreas-poet, and ends with a study of St Dunstan and the heavenly choirs of St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury, as related in Goscelin's Historia translationis S. Augustini. Also included are articles on Leofric of Exeter and liturgical performance as pastoral care, legal culture under Dena lage with reference to III Æthelred, an Agnus Dei penny of King Æthelred the Unready and self-seeking in The Metres of Boethius. Latin verse in an Old English medical codex is examined with reference to Bald's Colophon, the figure of Beow is explored in a Scandinavian context and a new solution is provided for Exeter Riddle 55. Each article is preceded by a short abstract.
