Cross and Cruciform in the AngloSaxon World: Studies to Honor the Memory of Timothy Reuter is edited by Sarah Larratt Keefer, Karen Louise Jolly, and Catherine E. Karkov and is the third and final volume of an ambitious research initiative begun in 1999 concerned with the image of the cross, showing how its very material form cuts across both the culture of a society and the boundaries of academic disciplineshistory, archaeology, art history, literature, philosophy, and religionproviding vital insights into how symbols function within society. The flexibility, portability, and adaptability of the AngloSaxon understanding of the cross suggest that, in preConquest England, at least, the linking of word, image, and performance joined the physical and spiritual, the temporal and eternal, and the earthly and heavenly in the AngloSaxon imaginative landscape.This volume is divided into three sections. The first section of the collection focuses on representations of The Cross: Image and Emblem, with contributions by Michelle P. Brown, David A. E. Pelteret, and Catherine E. Karkov. The second section, The Cross: Meaning and Word, deals in semantics and semeology with essays by amonn Carragin, Helen Damico, Rolf Bremmer, and Ursula Lenker. The third section of the book, The Cross: Gesture and Structure, employs methodologies drawn from archaeology, new media, and theories of rulership to develop new insights into subjects as varied as cereal production, the littleknown Nunburnholme Cross, and early medieval concepts of political power.Cross and Cruciform in the AngloSaxon World: Studies to Honor the Memory of Timothy Reuter is a major collection of new research, completing the publication series of the Sancta Crux/Halig Rod project. Cross and Culture in AngloSaxon England: Studies in Honor of George Hardin Brown, Volume 2 in this series, remains available from West Virginia University Press.
