The
eleven essays
in St Wulfstan and his World represent revised and updated
papers
delivered to a symposium held in 1995 to mark the 900th anniversary of
the
death of St Wulfstan of Worcester. Wulfstan was an English bishop
at the time of the Norman conquest who managed to survive in office at
a time when French-speaking Normans were taking over English government
and almost all other key positions in the church and society. St
Wulfstan and his World provides more rigorous interpretations of
Wulfstan's
life and politics than has hitherto been attempted, reading between the
lines of the extant hagiography and other records of his episcopate to
discover a skilful operator rather than a plaster saint. The
multi-disciplinary
nature of these essays, written by leading scholars, not only establish
the major contributions that Wulstan and his cathedral community made
to
eleventh century ecclesiastical and secular politics, and to art,
learning,
architecture and music, but also set his life within the rural and
urban
society of his day...
