The Etiquette of Early Northern Verse
This is a beautiful book, by a celebrated and sensitive reader of Old English and (especially) Old Norse, whose always elegant and witty prose has often been imitated by her many disciples, but never bettered. It comes a dozen years after the lectures on which it is based were first delivered, with a scrupulously updated bibliography, and book-ends after more than four decades the author's only other and equally inspiring monograph, with the same…

The Hisperica Famina as Literature
Literary Appropriations of the Anglo-Saxons from the Thirteenth to the Twentieth Century
This book, first published in 2000, discusses the attitudes towards Anglo-Saxons expressed by English poets, playwrights and novelists from the thirteenth century to the present day.

Crying wolf
Archbishop Wulfstan enjoyed a high reputation as a stylist amongst his contemporaries; when he was still bishop of London (996–1002) one correspondent spoke of the ‘very sweet wisdom of [his] eloquence and the richness of [his] composition fittingly organised’, whilst the wide dissemination of his sermons and their susceptibility to imitation bear dual witness to his popularity throughout the eleventh century
