- This significance of this major, 100,000 word monograph lies in its insistence that the mysterious “charms” found in Anglo-Saxon literature have an important but hitherto misunderstood place within mainstream Christian liturgical traditions. The book is rigorous in its engagement with an entire corpus of texts and sensitive to the absence of historical evidence about their use. It has also been widely and very positively reviewed including by Leonard Neidorf who wrote, “This book makes a major contribution to knowledge, as it sheds an enormous amount of light on the least well-understood corpus of writings from Anglo-Saxon England” (Anglia 137:2).
