An essential reference work for this period of English history, The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Anglo-Saxon England is now available in a new edition. It brings together more than 700 articles written by 150 top scholars that cover the people, places, activities, and creations of the Anglo-Saxons. It is the only reference work to cover the history, archaeology, arts, architecture, literatures, and languages of England from the Roman withdrawal to the Norman Conquest (c.450-1066 AD).

The new edition has been thoroughly updated to include the latest scholarship and features 40 brand-new entries and a new appendix detailing "English Archbishops and Bishops, c.450-1066." As in the first edition, the Encyclopedia includes maps, line drawings, photos, a table of "English Rulers, c.450-1066, " and a headword index to facilitate searching. With an accessible layout and authoritative content, this is indispensable reading, both for specialists in this interdisciplinary field, and for students looking for a thorough grounding in key topics.
