Review Quotes: "On the rear cover of the present work, the publishers claim, 'This collection provides a new, authoritative and challenging study of the life and works of Ælfric of Eynsham, the most important vernacular religious writer in the history of Anglo-Saxon England', and in every particular the claim is justified. This is a work that should be in the library of every university where Old English is on the curriculum, and it will be on the wish-list of every scholar and postgraduate student of Old English." - Paul Cavill, in: English Studies, 91:7 (2010), 790-791 [DOI: 10.1080/0013838X.2010.517060]
