This
collection of
biographies celebrates twenty-eight outstanding scholars, women and
men,
all late Fellows of the British Academy, who pioneered and developed
the
study of the early British Isles in the period 400-1100. The range of
expertise
covered includes language and literature (Old English; medieval Irish
and
Welsh; Scandinavian), history (Scandinavian; Anglo-Saxon, including the
study of diplomatic and place-names), archaeology, art history and
palaeography.
The memoirs also reveal the personalities of these individuals, and
each
is accompanied by a photographic portrait. Professor Lapidge's
introductory
essay sets in context the formative achievements of these scholars in
the
development of medieval studies in the twentieth century. Readership:
Scholars
and students of Medieval Britain.
