 The Anglo-Saxon Libraryby Michael LapidgeThe cardinal role of Anglo-Saxon libraries in the transmission of classical and patristic literature to the later middle ages has long been recognized, for these libraries sustained the researches of those English scholars whose writings determined the curriculum of medieval schools: Aldhelm, Bede, and Alcuin, to name only the best known. Yet this is the first full-length account of the nature and holdings of Anglo-Saxon libraries from the sixth century to the eleventh.

Migration and Mythmaking in Anglo-Saxon England Nicholas Howe (revised and reprinted 2001) In this original and revisionist interpretation of Anglo-Saxon England, Nicholas Howe proposes that the Anglo-Saxons fashioned a myth out of the fifth-century migration of their Germanic ancestors to Britain. Through the retelling of this story, the Anglo-Saxons ordered their complex history and identified their destiny as a people. Howe traces the migration myth throughout the literature of the Anglo-Saxon period, in poems, sermons, letters, and histories from the sixth to the eleventh centuries.
