Areas of study pursued in this book include a revealing grammatical
document from eighth-century Northumbria; renewed excavations at
Sutton Hoo are reported; the existence of an unnoticed late Old
English prose version of parts of Gregory's Dialogues is pointed
out. Fresh thinking is directed to topics as interesting and
diverse as a design on the Sutton Hoo purse lid; the origin of a
little-considered English decorated manuscript containing lives of
saints now in Paris; the enigmatic poem Wulf and Eadwacer; word
order as an element on Old English poetic style; surviving traces
of the teaching which Theodore and Hadrian delivered in England;
the career of a Latin text much studied in English schools for its
difficult vocabulary; the political aspects of relic cults during
the last century and a half of Anglo-Saxon monarchy; and the
organization of the invading armies led by Swein Forkbeard and
Cnut. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's
publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the
book; there is also a comprehensive index to volumes 11-15.
