<p>"This book is not just the first edition with a translation of the <em>Peterborough Chronicle</em>, it is a magnificently produced work of scholarship. Lavishly illustrated, it will become the basis for all future work, not just on the Chronicle, but on the worlds that produced it and the history that it records" <em>— </em>David Bates, Emeritus Professor in Medieval History, University of East Anglia.</p>

<p>"This welcome edition of The Peterborough Chronicle presents a wealth of information and analysis, opening up an important text for the study of early English history, language, and culture" — Susan E. Deskis, Professor of English, emerita, Northern Illinois University.</p>

M. Liuzza, University of Tennessee–Knoxville.</p>

The book consists of three parts: I. Introduction, including the history of research, detailed paleographical and codicological analysis, and discussion of the other Anglo-Saxon Chronicle manuscripts, and their textual relations; II. The Critical Edition, presenting the text in its immediate seventeenth-century manuscript context, with notes; III. The Modern English Translation, including detailed historical and philological notes. A bibliography, indexes and extensive comparanda complete the book.
