Ælfric's Prefaces
None
A Companion to Ælfric
This collection provides a new, authoritative and challenging study of the life and works of Ælfric of Eynsham, the most important vernacular religious writer in the history of Anglo-Saxon England. The contributors include almost all of the key Ælfric scholars working today and some important newer voices. Each of the chapters is a cutting-edge piece of work which addresses one aspect of Ælfric’s works or career. The chapters are organised topically, rather than by chronology, genre or biography, and between them cover the entire Ælfrician corpus and the major contextual issues; consideration of Ælfric’s Latin writings is carefully integrated with that of his Old English works. Ælfric studies are currently a central element of Anglo-Saxon studies, but while to date there has been a great deal of detailed work on some aspects of Ælfric, this collection provides the first overview. Contributors: Hugh Magennis, Joyce Hill, Christopher A. Jones, Mechthild Gretsch, M. R. Godden, Catherine Cubitt, Thomas N. Hall, Robert K. Upchurch, Mary Swan, Clare A. Lees, Gabriella Corona, Kathleen Davis, Jonathan Wilcox, Aaron J Kleist and Elaine Treharne.

Aelfric's Catholic Homilies
'A very useful summary list of sources used by Ælfric... an essential companion to the two volumes.' -Years Work in English Studies 'From each visit, the reader carries away a richer total understanding of Ælfric the intellectual, teacher, or translator. As it places so conveniently in the hands of a wide audience the materials necessary for any informed reading of the Homilies, this book alone will greatly facilitate future work on Ælfric.' -Medium Ævum 'Scholars owe a twofold debt to Malcolm Godden for this book, important both for its own sake, as a research tool, and for the milestone it signals: completion of a long-needed critical edition of Ælfric's Old English Catholic Homilies.' -Medium Ævum 'Godden's Introduction, Commentary, and Glossary brings a triumphant closure to a project that will be of immense value for years to come. Ælfric is fortunate in his editors.' -Notes and QueriesCompanion volume to SS 5 and SS 17, completing the set
