- Summary:
- Significant Anglo-Saxon papers, with postscripts, illustrate advances in knowledge of life and culture of pre-Conquest England. Manchester University has one of the liveliest Anglo-Saxon studies centres, which is now embarking on a joint programme of publications with Boydell & Brewer. This first volume of collected Toller lectures, the annual high profile lecture delivered by a leading Anglo-Saxonist, is both a record of the best scholarship in Anglo-Saxon studies of the last decade and a half, and a guide through the major advances in the knowledge of life and culture of pre-Conquest England. Contributors: Richard Bailey, Peter Baker, Dabney Anderson Bankert, Janet Bately, George Brown, Roberta Frank, Helmut Gneuss, Joyce Hill, David A. Hinton, Michael Lapidge, Audrey Meaney, Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe, Joana Proud, Alexander Rumble.
