This book explores the foundations of the intellectual renaissance in late-tenth-century England, including both the English Benedictine reform and the establishment by theworld, Bishop of Winchester, of his influential school. The early stages of thelwold's scholarly career are explored and new light is shed on the role which King ?thelstan's cosmopolitan court played. Two widely influential Old English texts are definitively attributed to ?thelwold and his circle, which attest to the importance that the reformers attached to the vernacular.
