Dunstan was a prominent ecclesiastical figure in tenth-century
England and - following his death and canonisation in 988 - the
country's most popular saint for over a century; his fame was
eventually eclipsed only by that of Thomas Becket. In life a close
friend of King Edgar, he was influential as the king's advisor and
became archbishop of Canterbury in 959. Published in 1874 as part
of the Rolls Series, this work gathers together the lives, letters
and other fragments of historical interest that were written to or
about Dunstan. As editor, William Stubbs (1825-1901) provides
English side-notes to the Latin text as well as a
characteristically extensive introduction, which includes a
detailed account of English monastic reform. On the subject of
Dunstan, he highlights points of particular interest, ranging from
questions of chronology to matters of misrepresentation and the
mystery identity of biographer 'B'.
