This volume illustrates some of the exciting new paths of enquiry which are currently being explored in many diverse fields of Anglo-Saxon studies, including archaeology, legal history, palaeography, Old English syntax and poetic style, and Latin learning with its many reflexes in Old English prose literature. In all these fields it is clear that fresh perspectives may be achieved by examining even well-known objects and texts in the light of modern approaches and scholarship. The volume concludes with the invaluable annual bibliography of publications in Anglo-Saxon studies, and an index to volumes 16-20.
