Books by Helmut Gneuss

The articles in this volume, both in English and German, are devoted to the study of books, readers and libraries in medieval England, especially in the Anglo-Saxon period.

Among topics covered in this volume, two important authorship questions are settled; the discovery of a major Northumbrian settlement is reported; and the conceptions of Old English literature which have prevailed during the last three hundred years are paraded for critical inspection. The usual comprehensive bibliography rounds off the book.
