Reviews / Votes
"Biggs and Brown state that they have sought to create a work which represents "not simply facts to be counted but rather the materials from which new interpretations of the literary culture of the period can be made" (p. 33). In this important aim they have been very successful." - Richard Shaw, *Journal of English and Germanic Philology*, April 2019More details

Content
Each entry, in this case, the individual works by Bede, have an introduction, and encylopaedic references to: 1) the critical edition(s) in which the work is found (e.g. CPL or CCSL) 2) extant manuscripts 3) occurrences in lists by near-contemporaries, such as Alcuin, to show early circulation 4) citations or references within Anglo-Saxon verse 5) quotations or citations in later authors (such as Alcuin, Boniface). This is typically followed by a summary of the content of the work, and how later Anglo-Saxon authors used the material. Cross-references are provided to other articles in the encyclopaedia dealing with these other works and authors.
