Imagining the Anglo-Saxon Past - The Search for Anglo-Saxon Paganism and Anglo-Saxon Trial

Published together here are two studies, one already a classic and the other based on recent scholarship, by a scholar who has done so much to rectify myths of the Anglo-Saxon religious and literary past. A reprint of his 1975 text on the nature of Anglo-Saxon paganism and later `stock views' of it is neatly juxtaposed with Eric Stanley's recent study on the origins of trial by jury.
