    The fortieth volume of Anglo-Saxon England reflects the vitality of work in this field across the usual wide range of disciplines. Poetry and prose in Old English and in Latin are well represented, complemented here by studies of Anglo-Saxon legislation and coinage, in their respective historical contexts. Also included is a second series of addenda and corrigenda to Helmut Gneuss's indispensable handlist of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Each article is preceded by a short abstract. The volume concludes with the annual bibliography of publications for the year 2010, in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies.
