Archbishop Wulfstan of York (d. 1023) is among the most important
legal and political thinkers of the early Middle Ages. A leading
ecclesiastic, innovative legislator, and influential royal
councilor, Wulfstan witnessed firsthand the violence and social
unrest that culminated in the fall of the English monarchy before
the invading armies of Cnut in 1016. In his homilies and legal
tracts, Wulfstan offered a searing indictment of the moral failings
that led to England's collapse and formulated a vision of an ideal
Christian community that would influence English political thought
long after the Anglo-Saxon period had ended. These works, many of
which have never before been available in modern English, are
collected here for the first time in new, extensively annotated
translations that will help readers reassess one of the most
turbulent periods in English history and re-evaluate the career of
Anglo-Saxon England's most important political visionary. -- .
