'Sure to become a standard work in the field, Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions is one of the most original and learned discussions of Anglo-Saxon literature of the past generation. Leslie Lockett's strikingly unique readings and thorough analyses throw a wholly new light on a stunning range of texts. With an interest that never flags, Lockett clearly and compellingly articulates a fundamental aspect of human life.'

"Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions improves upon the significant work of Malcolm Godden, Antonina Harbus, Britt Mize, Eric Jager, Soon Ai Low, and Michael Matto by being impressively comprehensive in its overview of poetry and prose and of the Latin inheritance traceable in Anglo- Saxon England. The book's range and detail are extraordinary. No Anglo-Saxonist's library should be without this 495-page study."
