A series which is a model of its kind EDMUND KING, HISTORY The
contributions collected in this volume demonstrate the full range
and vitality of current work on the Anglo-Norman period in a
variety of disciplines. They begin with Elisabeth van Houts' Allen
Brown Memorial Lecture, which makes a major contribution to
understanding the culture of early tenth-century Normandy. A number
of essays deal illuminatingly with monastic culture (both male and
female) and with associated literary production, from the making
ofthe famous Worcester cartularies to new insights into the
cultural world of forgery. Reading in the monastic refectory, the
high-quality of female monastic administration, the history of
charters for lay beneficiaries in the kingdom of Scots, attitudes
to women and power, and an exciting article on the nature of
maritime communities on both sides of the Channel also feature, and
there is a provocative and fascinating comparison of Henry II's and
FrederickBarbarossa's respective treatments of their families.
David Bates is Professorial Fellow, University of East Anglia.
