Saxon Studies (1875)

Focusing on Anglo-Saxon history and culture, this collection of essays delves into the origins, language, legal systems, and religious practices of the Anglo-Saxon people. Each of the four parts offers in-depth analyses, including a discussion of the epic poem Beowulf and the societal shifts during the conversion to Christianity.
