The workings of royal and ecclesiastical authority in Anglo-Saxon
England can only be understood on the basis of direct engagement
with original texts and material artefacts. This book, written by
leading experts, brings together new research that represents the
best of the current scholarship on the nexus between authority and
written sources from Anglo-Saxon England. Ranging from the seventh
to the eleventh century, the chapters in this volume offer fresh
approaches to a wide range of linguistic, historical, legal,
diplomatic and palaeographical evidence. Central themes include the
formation of power in early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms during the age of
Bede (d. 735) and Offa of Mercia (757-96), authority and its
articulation in the century from Edgar (959-75) to 1066, and the
significance of books and texts in expressing power across the
period. Writing, Kingship and Power in Anglo-Saxon England
represents a critical resource for students and scholars alike with
an interest in early medieval history from political, institutional
and cultural perspectives.
