Description

Book Synopsis
Philip A. Shaw is Lecturer in English Language and Old English, University of Leicester, UK.

Trade Review
It offers a fresh and productive method for examining fragmentary data for Anglo-Saxon (and, by implication, other pre-Christian) religion. It is a welcome contribution and should find a place in university libraries and on the shelves of early medievalists in general. -- Carole M. Cusack, University of Sydney * The Historian *
