The anonymous Life of King Edward written about the time of the
Norman Conquest, is an important and intriguing source for the
history of Anglo-Saxon England in the years just before 1066. It
provides a fascinating account of Edward the Confessor and his
family, including his wife Edith, his father-in-law Earl Godwin,
and the queen's brothers Tostig and Harold (who became king in
1066). The foundations of the legend of St. Edward the Confessor
are apparent from the version of the work supplied by the unique
manuscript of circa 1100. Barlow explores the problems raised by
this anonymous and now incomplete manuscript and examines the
development of the cult of St. Edward. He also investigates the
life and works of Goscelin of St. Bertin, a possible author. For
this second edition, Barlow has not only undertaken a complete
revision of the book, but recent discoveries have enabled him to
reconstruct in part the lacunae in BL Harley MS 526 with texts
closer to the original.
