The most up-to-date research in the period from the Anglo-Saxons to
Angevins. This volume of the Haskins Society Journal furthers the
Society's commitment to historical and interdisciplinary research
on the early and central Middle Ages, especially in the
Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Angevin worldsbut also on the
continent. The topics of the essays it contains range from the
curious place of Francia in the historiography of medieval Europe
to strategies of royal land distribution in tenth-century
Anglo-Saxon England to the representation of men and masculinity in
the works of Anglo-Norman historians. Essays on the place of
polemical literature in Frutolf of Michelsberg's Chronicle,
exploration of the relationship between chivalryand crusading in
Baudry of Bourgeuil's History, and Cosmas of Prague's manipulation
of historical memory in the service of ecclesiastical privilege and
priority each extend the volume's engagement with medieval
historiography, employing rich continental examples to do so.
Investigations of comital personnel in Anjou and Henry II's
management of royal forests and his foresters shed new light on the
evolving nature of secular governance in the twelfth centuries and
challenge and refine important aspects of our view of medieval rule
in this period. The volume ends with a wide-ranging reflection on
the continuing importance of the art object itself in medieval
history and visual studies. Contributors: H.F. Doherty, Kathryn
Dutton, Kirsten Fenton, Paul Fouracre, Herbert Kessler, Ryan
Lavelle, Thomas J.H. McCarthy, Lisa Wolverton, Simon Yarrow.
Essays offering new approaches to the changing forms of medieval
religious masculinity. The complex relationship between masculinity
and religion, as experienced in both the secular and ecclesiastical
worlds, forms the focus for this volume, whose range encompasses
the rabbis of the Babylonian and Palestinian Talmud,and moves via
Carolingian and Norman France, Siena, Antioch, and high and late
medieval England to the eve of the Reformation. Chapters
investigate the creation and reconstitution of different
expressions of masculine identity, from the clerical enthusiasts
for marriage to the lay practitioners of chastity, from crusading
bishops to holy kings. They also consider the extent to which lay
and clerical understandings of masculinity existed in an unstable
dialectical relationship, at times sharing similar features, at
others pointedly different, co-opting and rejecting features of the
other; the articles show this interplay to be more far more
complicated than a simple linear narrative of either increasing
divergence, or of clerical colonization of lay masculinity. They
also challenge conventional historiographies of the adoption of
clerical celibacy, of the decline of monasticism and the gendered
nature of piety. Patricia Cullum is Head of History at the
University of Huddersfield; Katherine J. Lewis is Senior Lecturer
in History at the University of Huddersfield. Contributors: James

`A series which is a model of its kind.' EDMUND KING, HISTORY The
latest volume in the series concentrates, as always, on the half
century before and the century after 1066, with papers which have
many interconnections and range across different kinds of history.
There is a particular focuson church history, with contributions on
an Anglo-Saxon archiepiscopal manual, architecture and liturgy in
post-Conquest Lincolnshire, Anglo-Norman cathedral chapters, and
twelfth-century views of the tenth-century monastic reform. Other
topics considered include social history (the Anglo-Norman family),
gender (William of Malmesbury's representation of Bishop Wulfstan
of Worcester), and politics (the sheriffs of Northumberland and
Cumberland 1170-1185). The volume is completed with articles on
Domesday Book and the post-Domesday Evesham Abbey surveys, and a
double paper on land tenure and royal patronage. Contributors:
