4.9/5 (33877 ratings)

Description:The papers published here are developed from presentations made at a Manchester Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies Conference entitled "The Anglo-Saxons in their World" held in 2010. An eclectic collection of studies drawing on Latin, Old English and Old Norse texts, artefacts and archaeology, papers are groups into five themed sections: Chosen people in their place; Life in Anglo-Saxon England; Beyond the shore; The Mediterranean and beyond; and The North, The Universe, though other connections maybe found. Two papers focus largely on early archaeology (Battaglia, Trzaska Nartowski and Riddler) and King's study is also of an archaeological find. A majority of papers relate to the intellectual climate of the early Christian period in England (Larpi, Higham, Grocock, King, Cesario, Barker and to some extent Sebo). Several take evidence from later Anglo-Saxon manuscripts (Scragg, Hill, Frederick, Sebo). Fafinski attempts a chronological sweep beginning in the Roman period, and Banham from the seventh century to the eleventh.Contents:Bede's use of Gildas : two different chronological frameworks / Luca Larpi, The University of Manchester --Bede's vision of an English Britain / Nicholas J. Higham, The University of Manchester --The sense (or absence) of place in Bede / Christopher Grocock, independent scholar --Lectun and orceard : a preliminary survey of the evidence for horticulture in Anglo-Saxon England / Debby Banham, University of Cambridge --The complexities of the simple comb / Nicola Trzaska-Nartowski and Ian Riddler, independent scholars --Dwarves, nosebleeds and a scurvy horse : some uses of manuscripts in late Anglo-Saxon England / Donald G.
