Book Description:
One of the most important primary sources for our knowledge of Anglo Saxon England is the charters and manuscripts which survive from the period before 1066. In the present book, two complementary essays treat the charters of mid tenth century English kings, bringing previously unknown documents to light, establishing the circumstances in which they were produced, and demonstrating that changes in practice in the royal chancery had far reaching effect on all aspects of Anglo Saxon script and book production. The question of the medieval representation of women is illuminated by a study of the difficulties which a well known monastic author, 'lfric, faced in characterizing an Old Testament heroine who used her body to achieve her ends, while a number of traditional assumptions about the property rights of divorced women in England are freshly challenged by close philological analysis of surviving law codes. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo Saxon studies rounds off the book.
