Review :
"The value of this book is ... that leading scholars in Anglo-Saxon cultural studies have produced new insights into their specialist fields under the stimulus of facing common problems. This should encourage other Anglo-Saxonists to do likewise." - Speculum "Karkov and Brown are to be congratulated on recruiting for their collection a distinguished array of scholars with interesting essays on Anglo-Saxon art and artifacts (both great and small), architecture, scribal activity, and literature." - Journal of English and Germanic Philology "...a gracefully synthesized portrayal of the arrays and meanings of style in Anglo-Saxon culture." - CHOICE "This is one of the few books attempting to synthesize our knowledge on Anglo-Saxon culture in new and interesting ways by finding a bridge between art and literature in the word 'style.'" - Patrick W. Conner, author of Anglo-Saxon Exeter: A Tenth-Century Cultural History "I like the sweep and ambition of this book and the wide variety of forms/arts that it encompasses. There is something for every Anglo-Saxonist here. I also like the general acknowledgment of the idea of a 'multiplicity of co-existing styles' and the inappropriateness of imposing unitary forms on a culture that is truly syncretic and disparate in ways that have been overlooked by many previous critics." - Gillian R. Overing, coauthor of Double Agents: Women and Clerical Culture in Anglo-Saxon England
