Learning and Literature in Anglo-Saxon England: Studies Presented to Peter Clemoes on the Occasion of his Sixty-Fifth Birthday

Fourteen leading specialists in the field of Anglo-Saxon studies have contributed to this substantial collection of essays in honour of Peter Clemoes, founder of Anglo-Saxon England and recently retired as Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge. The book is divided into two complementary parts. The first looks at the background to Anglo-Saxon learning, in particular at the composition of monastic and private libraries and the nature of the individual works available in them. The second examines the contents and sources of individual texts and reviews the problems of interpretation and transmission these pose for scholars.Lapidge, Michael is the author of 'Learning and Literature in Anglo-Saxon England: Studies Presented to Peter Clemoes on the Occasion of his Sixty-Fifth Birthday', published 1985 under ISBN 9780521259026 and ISBN 0521259029.
