Scholars have long been interested in the extent to which the
Anglo-Saxon past can be understood using material written, and
produced, in the twelfth century; and simultaneously in the
continued importance (or otherwise) of the Anglo-Saxon past in the
generations following the Norman Conquest of England. In order to
better understand these issues, this volume provides a series of
essays that moves scholarship forward in two significant ways.
Firstly, it scrutinises how the Anglo-Saxon past continued to be
reused and recycled throughout the longue duree of the twelfth
century, as opposed to the early decades that are usually covered.
Secondly, by bringing together scholars who are experts in various
different scholarly disciplines, the volume deals with a much
broader range of historical, linguistic, legal, artistic,
palaeographical and cultic evidence than has hitherto been the
case. Divided into four main parts: The Anglo-Saxon Saints;
Anglo-Saxon England in the Narrative of Britain; Anglo-Saxon Law
and Charter; and Art-history and the French Vernacular, it
scrutinises the majority of different genres of source material
that are vital in any study of early medieval British history. In
so doing the resultant volume will become a standard reference
point for students and scholars alike interested in the ways in
which the Anglo-Saxon past continued to be of importance and
interest throughout the twelfth century.
