This book explores the foundations of the intellectual renaissance in late-tenth-century England including both the English Benedictine reform and the establishment by thelwold 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.
