Reviews
Dumville's painstaking attention to detail and ability to go back rigorously to first principles are re-drawing the cultural mat of tenth- and eleventh-century England... an important, if difficult, book which will open the path to greater understanding of the cultural history of the period. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEWChallenging and thought-provoking. ANTIQUARIES JOURNALDeeply learned... a book which will provoke debate and even the most seasoned of sceptics should not dare to examine later Anglo-Saxon manuscripts without it. HISTORY The evidence of the manuscripts is for the most part all that is available to us to illuminate the culture of the time, and Dr Dumville is enriching both the material and also the techniques which are available to us.
