This volume makes important contributions to our stock of primary
manuscript evidence: it recovers parts of six previously unrecorded
charters and analyses two sets of fragments, each unique in its own
way - two leaves of Old Testament text written in Mercia or
Canterbury early in the ninth century and six leaves of a missal
written at Worcester in the mid-eleventh century. Significant
issues in both ecclesiastical and secular history are tackled too -
the location of Lindsey, the fate of Rutland during the
Scandinavian invasions and settlements, and the state of our
knowledge of the archaeology of the Five Boroughs of Leicester,
Derby, Nottingham, Stamford and Lincoln. Vernacular literature
receives its fair share of attention as well: the relationship
between author and audience is examined in the cases of a biblical
poem and of the prose homiliary which is still least well
understood among the principle ones extant. The usual comprehensive
bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of
Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.
