- W2022278827 abstract "Click to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size AcknowledgementI am grateful to the editors for the invitation to contribute this introduction to the volume.Notes1Yorke, Millenary Celebrations. See Stevenson for the redating of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle's record of the death of Alfred from 901 to the correct date of 899; as Barbara Yorke notes (Millenary Celebrations, 3) this failed to stop the party in Winchester in 1901.2Patrick Wormald (“Archbishop Wulfstan,” 11) commented on the impossibility of a (non-millenary) anniversary conference on Wulfstan prior to 2002. Sarah Foot (1–2) notes the reflection in the London Times of 25 October 1940 on the circumstances that prevented a millenary celebration (albeit wrongly dated) of the death of King Æthelstan (924–39).3Brownlie, 17. The Heritage Lottery Funding (Heritage Lottery Fund) “Funding for Anniversaries” programme shines a light on the public interest agenda in driving anniversary commemoration. I am grateful to Neil McDougall for drawing my attention to this.4Stenton, 373–94 (quotation at 394) and, on Edgar (ironically in a chapter titled “The Decline of the Old English Monarchy,” in which the “decline” was all attributed to Æthelred's reign), 364–72. See also the discussion of Frank Merry Stenton's opinion on Æthelred by Levi Roach in the present volume.5Hill, ed., Ethelred the Unready. See especially David Hill's own contribution to the volume, “Trends in the Development of Towns.”6Stafford, “Reign of Æthelred II”; “Royal Government.”7However, cf. Keynes, Diplomas, xviii, commenting on his personal interest in the millenary of 978–1978.8Simon Keynes (Diplomas, xvi, 205–6) puts the reign in the context of the reputational decline of Æthelred, first aired in “Declining Reputation,” in the 1978 conference volume and developed in his Royal Historical Society lecture of 1985, “A Tale of Two Kings.” See also Courtnay Konshuh's reading of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in the 2016 special issue of English Studies.9A key early collection, published in 1930, is that of Ashdown, ed. Writing in 1956, Peter Hunter Blair (93–5) provides an example of the way in which the legendary Jómsborg fortress, recorded in Old Norse saga, was thought to be directly tied to the then newly discovered Trelleborg fortresses in Denmark.10See the collections edited by Scragg; and Cooper.11Lavelle, Aethelred II; Alfred's Wars, 34–5, 113–14 and 117.12Jorgensen, “Trumpet and the Wolf.” See also her “Power, Poetry and Violence” which specifically addresses Maldon.13Although not all local initiatives resulted in publication, a handful of examples may be noted: Keynes, “Andover 994”; Eales and Gameson; and MacDonald.14For two millennial anniversaries of religious houses, see Barker, ed.; and Barker, Hinton, and Hunt, eds.; it may be noted that assessments of the political significance of religious houses has been made possible by the British Academy's publication of the editions of Anglo-Saxon charters; see Brooks.15Yorke, ed., Bishop Æthelwold; Ramsay, Sparks, and Tatton-Brown, eds.; Brooks and Cubitt, eds. Catherine Cubitt reviews many of the themes arising from these volumes in “Tenth-Century Benedictine Reform.”16For example, Christopher A. Jones (76–7) notes the manner in which Ælfric's perception of his own time is as part of a continuing process of reform and renewal.17Fisher.18This observation is made by Patrick Wormald (“Wulfstan”): “Wulfstan [Lupus] (d. 1023), Archbishop of York and Homilist.” For an early note on Wulfstan's legislative significance, see Liebermann, 31.19Wormald, “Archbishop Wulfstan,” 21.20A translated collection of Wulfstan's political works, edited by Andrew Rabin, to be released at the time of writing, is likely to add to this development of scholarship in the future. Contrast this with the comment by Henry Loyn (273) in an end piece to Hill's Citation1978 collection, that less was made of the vernacular works of Ælfric and Wulfstan than might have been expected at the time.21See, for example, Meyer; and Yorke, “Æthelwold and the Politics of the Tenth Century.”22Stafford, “Sons and Mothers.” These followed issues explored in Stafford, “Royal Government,” 126–68.23Stafford, Queen Emma and Queen Edith.24This observation benefits from discussion with Charles Insley.25Levi Roach provides an invaluable continental perspective on the millennial angst considered by him in this issue and in “Emperor Otto III and the End of Time.”26Lavelle, Aethelred II, 97–101.27The public lectures provided by academics on the subject would be difficult to track down and catalogue even now, but it is worth highlighting a couple of manifestations of public history, such as the line-up of academics of various specialisms on 1000 AD, broadcast on the UK's Channel 4 on 31 January 1999. Ann Williams, who wrote her biography, Æthelred the Unready, around the same time as my own, uses the commemorative opportunity of the Year 1000 to provide a useful broad-brush view of Britain in “Portrait of Britain: AD 1000,” though she says little about the notion of millennium and apocalypse.28See, for example, the lecture on the event by Sabapathy.29These finds are discussed in Pollard et al.; Bill; Loe et al.; and Strætkvern.30Nelson. A comparison with Louis the Pious's “Penitential State” is made by Roach in the present volume.31John of Worcester, 476–7 (sub anno 1014).32William of Malmesbury, 268–9 (ch. 164.1) and, for the king's apparent laziness, 272–3 (165.7).33Wormald, “Archbishop Wulfstan,” 22." @default.
