The Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (new edition)

translated and edited by Michael Swanton

Originally published in 1996, this is a revised edition of the most complete translation of The Chronicles available and will appeal to both students and general readers. Swanton focuses on the chronicle's historical, social and cultural themes rather than on philiological problems and assumes that readers have only a limited acquaintance with the original text. Translations of the Peterborough and Winchester manuscripts are accompanied by informative notes on places and events and are preceded by a general introduction to the sources and an evaluation of the merit of the work as a history. 363p plus 8p b/w pls (Dent 1996, Phoenix rev paperback edn 2000)
