Mid-Victorian Poetry, 1860-1879
These two volumes list late-and mid-Victorian poets, with brief biographical information and bibliographical details of published works. The major strength of the works is the 'discovery' of very many minor poets and their work, unrecorded elsewhere.

The Cambridge Companion to Medieval British Manuscripts
Explains the methods and knowledge required to understand how, why, and for whom manuscripts were made in medieval Britain.
The 1879 Theft of Royal Ms 16 E VIII from the British Museum
In June 1879, Royal MS 16 E VIII, a unique 13th-century manuscript, vanished from the Round Reading Room of the British Museum after being returned by a Prussian reader. This essay synthesises 20 years of rigorous research since the author's previous publications, offering new insights into this significant case. The study examines the intense academic rivalries between German and French scholars after the Franco-Prussian War and the profound cultural significance of Royal MS 16 E VIII, which contained the sole copy of "Le Voyage de Charlemagne à Jérusalem et à Constantinople," believed to be the oldest poem in French literature. It highlights key figures, including the Prussian philologist Eduard Koschwitz and Herr Rothe, J.R.R. Tolkien’s teacher at KES, and provides a detailed textual reconstruction of the lost manuscript. Aimed at historians, philologists, and medievalists, this updated work illuminates the impact of the Franco-Prussian War on academic nationalism and cultural heritage. It is an indispensable resource for understanding a pivotal moment in the history of Europe and the British Museum.
