The forty-fifth volume of Anglo-Saxon England focusses on various
aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and history from the seventh to the
seventeenth century. In the field of Old English literature,
contributions examine a ninth-century homily fragment, The Dream of
the Rood, The Seafarer, and the Old English translation of
Boethius' De Consolatione Philosophiae. A contribution which
explores references to the senses in a wide range of vernacular
texts is complemented by another which reconsiders the iconography
of the Fuller Brooch. The network of fortifications recorded in the
Burghal Hidage is re-interpreted here as a product of political
developments in the later 870s; and a new edition of the 'Ely
memoranda' reminds us that the religious houses of the tenth and
eleventh centuries functioned also as major agricultural estates.
Finally, the contribution of seventeenth-century antiquaries to the
development of Anglo-Saxon studies is remembered in a study of an
early Anglo-Saxon Grammar.
