The editorial policy of Anglo-Saxon England has been to encourage
an interdisciplinary approach to the study of all aspects of
Anglo-Saxon culture. This approach is pursued in exemplary fashion
by many of the essays in this volume. Fresh light is thrown on the
dating and form of Cynewulf's poem The Fates of the Apostles
through a comprehensive study of the historical martyrologies of
the Carolingian period on which Cynewulf is presumed to have drawn.
The literary form of AElfric's Preface to his translation of
Genesis is illustrated through a wide-ranging study of the
rhetorical genre of preface-writing in the early Middle Ages (the
genre which subsequently was known as the ars dictaminis), and the
problems which AElfric faced and solved in composing a Life of St
AEthelthryth are illustrated through detailed comparison of the
sources which he utilized. The usual comprehensive bibliography of
the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon
studies rounds off the book.
