This volume offers fundamental evidence and discussion illuminating
a wide range of important subjects: possible influence of Cicero on
Bede's attitude to rhetoric; the probability that Theodore and
Hadrian brought a glossary from Italy to England; the traditional
concept of the narrator in Old English poetry; the nationality of
the author of the Old English poem Genesis B; the conceptions of
history controlling the Old English Orosius; the establishment of
Square minuscule as the standard English script of the tenth
century; criteria for distinguishing between Anglo-Saxon script
written in England and script written by Anglo-Saxons on the
continent; the grounds for claiming that certain surviving
pre-Conquest manuscripts were once at Glastonbury; the extent of
the circulation of Prudentius's Psychomachia in Anglo-Saxon
England; the regional distribution of names of different origins
among the moneyers of the Anglo-Danish era. Early and late periods
and north and south thus find a place in this searching treatment
of intellectual, cultural and settlement issues. The usual
comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book.
