Bibliographical Handbook

Anglo-Saxon England:

a Bibliographical Handbook for Students of Anglo-Saxon History

Anglo-Saxon England: a Bibliographical Handbook for Students of Anglo-Saxon History originated as a 'Select Bibliography' in 1985, and was re-named a 'Bibliographical Handbook' in 2000. It developed thereafter as a starting-point for those exploring various aspects of the subject, whether as undergraduates or graduates.

The most recent edition of the 'Bibliographical Handbook' is still the 7th, published in October 2006. It comprises 279 pages of annotated bibliography, organised under various headings, followed by (i) a coloured diagram showing the development of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, (ii) a series of 17 maps, devised by SDK and drawn by Reginald Piggott, and (iii) a genealogical table of the kings of the English in the tenth century. 

All of the maps, and more of the same, are now available elsewhere on this website.

The 'Bibliographical Handbook' has been revised further (currently 338 pages), and it is hoped that it will be re-ssued soon as an 8th edition.
