St Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury (d.988), was celebrated in his own day as a scholar and churchman, a reviver of the monastic life, and a statesman. He was regarded as a saint from the moment he died, and his reputation remained high in the English church throughout the middle ages. Here a distinguished group of scholars discusses Dunstan; the places associated with him; his Classbook and Pontifical; and the architecture and arts of the book that flourished at Canterbury in his time. The landed estates that underlay such activities are examined and a positive identification is offered of the author of the biography which spread Dunstan's fame far beyond the confines ofCanterbury. The contributors are: N.P. BROOKS, M.D. COSTEN, D.J. DALES, R.D.H.GEM, TIM TATTON-BROWN, HAROLD GOUGH, MILDRED BUDNY, JANE ROSENTHAL, JENNIFER O'REILLY, RICHARD GAMESON, ALAN THACKER, MICHAEL LAPIDGE, DAVID ROLLASON, B. O'CUV, T.A. HESLOP, NIGEL RAMSAY and MARGARET SPARKS.
