Book synopsis

The first full-length critical study of the Peterborough ("E") version of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It focuses on the ways in which it is a particular product of its place and time, putting it into the context of the writing of local and national histories at Peterborough (then an important monastic centre), and examining the alterations and modifications the Peterborough monks made to their source. It thus has significant implications for the study of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle more generally, arguing that other contemporary texts had a considerable influence upon its later versions, and in general presenting a new way of viewing the different versions of the Chronicle altogether, as a group of individual texts rather than as a whole. Malasree Home gained her doctorate from the University of Cambridge.
