The Chronicle of John of Worcester: The annals from 1067 to 1140 with the Gloucester interpolations and the continuation to 1141
This is the third volume of a complete translation of The Chronicle of John of Worcester, an important source of early English history.
The chronicle of John of Worcester
The chronicle of John of Worcester is one of the most important sources of early English history, which has never been edited adequately, and an edition has long been needed. It is an essential record of the history of the Anglo-Saxon period and of the late eleventh and twelfth centuries. The chronicle will be published in three volumes. Volume II covers the annals for 450 to 1066, and Volume III the annals from 1067 to 1140. Volume I will be published last, and will contain a general introduction and supplementary material.
The Chronicle of John of Worcester
John of Worcester is celebrated for his work on the Worcester Chronica Chronicarum, which was put together in stages in the first half of the twelfth century, and which became one of the most important historical texts to have survived from Britain of that period. A great deal of our understanding of early medieval British history, from before and after the Norman Conquest, depends upon it. At a late stage in the production of the Chronica Chronicarum, John turned his hand to the writing of an abbreviated chronicle, which he called his Chronicula, and which survives in a single, autograph manuscript in Trinity College, Dublin.

St. Oswald of Worcester
St Oswald was the youngest of the three great monastic reformers of tenth-century England whose work transformed English religious, intellectual and political life. Certainly a more attractive, and perhaps a more effective, figure than either St Dunstan or St AEthelwold, Oswald's impact upon his cathedrals at Worcester and York and upon his West Midland and East Anglian monasteries was radical and lasting. In this volume the researches of a team of leading scholars throw new light on St Oswald's background, career, influence and cult and on the society that he helped to shape. His cathedral at Worcester and his monastery at Ramsey were among the richest and best documented Anglo-Saxon churches. The volume therefore provides a window on to the realities of tenth-century English politics, religion and economics in the light of contemporary developments on the continent.
