'The Books and the Life of Judith of Flanders is an important contribution to Anglo-Saxon scholarship. It includes a wealth of sources, both primary and secondary. Each page is replete with informative footnotes, while the bibliography is exhaustive ... It will be of particular interest to medievalists and art historians, though students of all historical periods will appreciate the subject matter. The interdisciplinary approach successfully crosses traditional borders to present a unique kind of biography that informs about a specific woman, while inviting new ways of thinking about secular women’s activity in late Anglo-Saxon England and on the continent.' Hortulus

• Contents: Introduction: Before Northumbria; Lady of Northumbria, 1055-1065; The English books; Frontispiece portraits and exile; Collecting treasure as Lady of Ravensburg; The relic of the Holy Blood; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.
