Books by Professor Michael Lapidge

Offers evidence from Continental sources on early fifth-century Britain, and from Irish sources on Gildas' own reputation and career. This book is suitable for students of post-Roman Britain.

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.
