This book is a study of Aldhelm (c.639-709) and his complementary roles as a spiritual theorist in a nascent Christian society and as an ecclesiastical administrator. In both, he is shown as innovative and purposeful. His own theology responded to an experiential knowledge of the realities of power in his society. Born into West Saxon royal kin, he spoke directly to the concerns and needs of his aristocratic society, transforming the patristic norms of Christian behavior into the heroic concepts intuitively meaningful to his Germanic society. For Aldhelm, the dedicated virgin was as heroic as a warrior serving his lord. Despite the extensive work on the long-neglected Aldhelm by this last generation of Anglo-Saxonists, which has succeeded in restoring him as a major subject of Anglo-Saxon studies, there has not been a book-length treatment of Aldhelm’s career as a whole in over a century. Thus, the present book seeks to move beyond the somewhat parochial concerns of Anglo-Saxon history to bring Aldhelm into the mainstream of Late Antique studies, a figure as fully at home with the cultural trappings of Rome as he is with Christian patristic literature. Aldhelm was unique, among his fellow Anglo-Saxon notables of his period, in being a high ecclesiastic also engaged in innovative scholarship, though, in this, he stood very much in the mainstream of the great figures of Christian Late Antiquity, East and West, uniformly bishops and scholarly theologians. In many ways, Aldhelm was the last significant figure of Late Antiquity in the West.

Anglo-Saxon England is recognised internationally as the foremost regular publication in its field. In fact it is the only one which consistently embraces all the main aspects of study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture — linguistic, literary, textual, palaeographic, religious, intellectual, historical, archaeological and artistic — and which promotes the more unusual interests — in music or medicine or education, for example. Especially it seeks to exploit the advantages of a broadly based interdisciplinary approach. Each volume provides a systematic bibliography of all the works published in every branch of Anglo-Saxon studies during the preceding twelve months. The journal's editorial board follows a strict policy of reviewing submissions, and invites contributions (in English) from experienced and promising scholars from anywhere in the world.

The psalms are at the heart of Christian devotion, in the Middle Ages and still today. Learned early and sung weekly by every medieval monastic and cleric, the psalms were the language Christ and his ancestor David used to speak to God. Powerful and plaintive, angry and anguished, laudatory and lamenting: the psalms expressed the feelings and thoughts of the individuals who devised them and those who sang them privately or publicly in Anglo-Saxon England many generations later. Psalters from Anglo-Saxon England are the largest surviving single group of manuscripts, and also form a very significant percentage of the fragments of manuscripts extant from the period. Psalters were central to the liturgy, particularly for the daily Office, and were the first schoolbooks for the learning of Latin and Christian doctrine. Moreover, from Anglo-Saxon England comes the earliest complex of vernacular psalter material, including glossed and bilingual psalters, complete psalter translations, and poems based on individual psalms and on psalmic structures. The lament psalms are remarkably similar to the Old English elegies in both form and imagery, and the freedom with which vernacular adaptors of the psalms went about their work in Anglo-Saxon England suggests an appropriation of the psalter not as the sacred and unchanging Word but as words that could be turned to use for meditation, study, reading, and private prayer. Worth investigation are both individual figures who used the psalms such as Bede, Alfred, and Ælfric, and also the unknown compilers and scribes who developed new layouts for psalter manuscripts and repurposed earlier or Continental manuscripts for use in Anglo-Saxon England. In Latin and in the vernacular, these codices were central to Anglo-Saxon spirituality, while some of them also continued to be used well into the later Middle Ages.

In emulation of Professor Éamonn Ó Carragáin, who has, over the last few decades, demonstrated how words and images together join in that extraordinary cultural achievement which is the Ruthwell Cross, the volume seeks to transcend the established methods of the single discipline.The twenty-six essays draw together insights from fields as diverse as archaeology, art history, and liturgy to reflect on the literature and material culture of the Anglo-Saxons. The first section looks outwards from the insular context, to medieval Rome, more generally to western Europe, and backwards to the world-geography of the ancient world; its illustrations include colour plates to illumine the hangings, clothing and vestments extant from Anglo-Saxon England. A range of texts is considered in the central section, Latin, English, and Old Norse. The third section focuses on sculpture, buildings and the insular landscape, juxtaposing the sculptured stonework of Northern Britain with early Christian monuments and remains from Ireland; among the illustrations are striking coloured photographs of Irish ecclesiastical sites. The contributors are from Canada, the United States, Italy, Britain, and Ireland.
