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.
