Recenzje

In After Alfred, Pauline Stafford's superb new history of the several vernacular chronicles (emphasis on the plural) spawned by Alfred's, she shows how these copies and continuations were embellished and edited in different times and places over the following 250 years. Stafford has acquired a depth of knowledge that allows her artfully to fathom the dark waters that crash about her material. Hers is a reminder -- of major significance -- of how these unutterably complex manuscripts should be read: with caution and context in equal measure.
