Several unusual fields of study are extensively explored in this
volume: a distinctive politico-religious cult, penitentials,
inscriptions, the Sutton Hoo whetstone and medical knowledge; while
treatments of more 'standard' subjects like late Anglo-Saxon law,
King Alfred's Boethius and Beowulf, lead to unusual conclusions. A
phenomenon special to Anglo-Saxon England is given a full and
separate treatment in a careful and imaginative analysis of the
ecclesiastical and political significance of the cults of murdered
royal saints. Elizabeth Okasha's Hand-List which has been
indispensable to any work on Anglo-Saxon non-runic inscriptions for
some time has been refreshed by the description and illustration of
twenty-six additional items and by other addenda and corrigenda.
The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's
publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the
book.
