IMAGINING THE
ANGLO-SAXON PAST
The Search for Anglo-Saxon Paganism and Anglo-Saxon
Trial by Jury
Edited by Eric Gerald Stanley
IMAGINING
THE ANGLO-SAXON PAST
THE SEARCH FOR
ANGLO-SAXON PAGANISM
AND
ANGLO-SAXON TRIAL BY JURY
ERIC STANLEY has an international reputation as a leading
Anglo-Saxonist, and his perceptive and original contributions to
the ®eld continue to offer valuable correctives to prevailing views
and to show how scholarly predilection can easily become
prejudice and orthodoxy. The two issues under scrutiny in this
book are the tendency among some writers to exalt whatever is
primitive and supposedly pagan or crypto-pagan in the surviving
Old English texts of the early Christian Middle Ages (for ex-
ample, Tolkien on monsters or Jacob Grimm on everything
Germanic), and the idealism of some advocates of political and
legal reform that leads them to identify the beginnings of trial by
jury (and hence the ®rst step on the way to democratic rule by
law), in Germanic or Alfredian institutions.
