Críticas

'Anglo-Saxon England has been providing Anglo-Saxonists with scholarship of consistently high quality for nearly twenty years now. Its range of subjects within the field is both wide and interdisciplinary, and the annual bibliography, always meticulously produced, has become an indispensable resource.' E. A. Rowe, Anglia 'As always, Anglo-Saxon England is a model of correct printing of often difficult material, especially in the references throughout and in the outstandingly good bibliography, so much so that the discovery by a reviewer of the odd misprint ! turns into an unprofitable triumph.' E. G. Stanley, Notes & Queries 'The volumes of Anglo-Saxon England, while naturally reflecting work in progress and suitable in article form, seem often to advance steadily along lines set out in the late sixties, in the period between the death of Sir Frank Stenton (1967) and the appearance of the third and posthumous edition of his volume in the Oxford History of England (1971). In this respect, at least, Cambridge took over where Oxford left off ! questions asked vigorously a decade and a half ago begin to receive answers in the eighties.' H. R. Loyn, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

Reseña del editor

This volume is framed by articles that throw interesting light on the achievement and reputation of the greatest of Anglo-Saxon kings - Alfred. It opens with a wide-ranging study of the literary and archaeological evidence for the novel design of Alfred's ships, design which in later times led to his being regarded as the father of the English navy. The book closes with a survey of the development of the Alfredian legend from the tenth to the twentieth century, with material drawn from a wide variety of different sources, including art and literature, much of which may be unfamiliar to students of Anglo-Saxon England. Between these two articles on King Alfred lies a variety of studies which illustrate Anglo-Saxon England's aim of encouraging the interdisciplinary study of surviving records. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.
