This volume provides a statement of a new theory of how committed romantic partners can maintain and enhance their close relationships over an extended period. It blends the latest relationship scholarship on closeness with practical advice and comparison of minding with several other major theories of how to maintain closeness.

This volume brings together a number of essays written by leading scholars in the field of early medieval English history.

Furthermore they also link up with each other, since warfare was the predominant theme in Anglo-Saxon myth, while charters are an important source for military organisation and can also, for example through the information they supply on place names, shed light on belief and cult. Several of the contributions take a wider perspective, lo

Katharine Hilbery is beautiful and privileged but uncertain of her future. She must choose between becoming engaged to the oddly prosaic poet William, and her dangerous attraction to the lower-class Ralph. As she struggles to decide, the lives of two other women - women’s rights activist Mary Datchet and Katharine’s mother, struggling to weave together the documents, events and memories of her father’s life into a biography - impinge on hers with unexpected and intriguing consequences.
