Reconstructed page. This is a copy of Anglo-Saxonists, the biographical register compiled by Professor Carl T. Berkhout (Department of English, University of Arizona), whose original site at www.u.arizona.edu/~ctb/ is no longer online. It was reconstructed in September 2026 from the copies preserved by the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine for the Kemble website. The text is Professor Berkhout’s and is presented unaltered apart from the repair of internal links; the pages were captured at different dates and may be uneven in completeness.

Anglo-Saxon Scholarship
Explanatory Notes
I hope eventually to compile here a reasonably complete record of publications on Anglo-Saxon scholarship and individual Anglo-Saxonists from the 16th through the 20th century. In doing so I apply the term "Anglo-Saxonist" somewhat loosely and arbitrarily. I include some persons who were not chiefly Anglo-Saxonists but who as collectors, librarians, antiquaries, and so forth, had some particular impact on Anglo-Saxon studies.
As for such persons as Milton, Jefferson, Longfellow, and Tolkien, I have of course included only those publications that bear directly on their Anglo-Saxon work or interests. My focus has generally been more on scholarship than on medievalism, and I have not normally reported writings on the strains or whiffs of Anglo-Saxon language or culture that appear in Wordsworth, Hopkins, Joyce, Steinbeck, and many other authors. But probably I have not been entirely consistent in my exclusions and inclusions.
