The papers in this volume are the written record of the Symposium on the Sources of Anglo-Saxon Culture held in conjunction with the Eighteenth International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University (1983). The Symposium highlighted the interconnections of literature, art history, and archaeology, and the resulting book likewise promotes disciplinary and interdisciplinary interchange within Anglo-Saxon Studies.
