Reviews

impressively learned work. Anyone working on any aspect of early medieval Glastonbury abbey and its lands must consult it, but anyone more generally interested in the Anglo-Saxon period in Wessex will find many unexpected insights in this important set of records.
*Barbara Yorke, Southern History*

This splendid volume by Susan Kelly is ... substantial, 624 pages, reflecting the size and wealth of the abbey of Glastonbury, and the mass of surviving charters and documentation. ... this must be seen as a very welcome addition to the study of Anglo-Saxon Glastonbury.
*Teresa Hall, Somerset Archaeology and Natural History*

a formidable work of scholarship ... a great accomplishment and a very important addition to the Anglo-Saxon Charters series.
*Francesca Tinti, The English Historical Review*
