Contains a brilliant introduction outlining the author's views on "Biblical style", a structural, chiasmatic approach to reading scriptural texts. This is followed by a painstaking survey of a variety of early medieval texts. Sometimes the work may seem over-laboured, however at its most fascinating (e.g. work on Beowulf authorship) the scholarship can be scintillating.
Patrick's autobiographical letter near the end of his life in defense of unnamed charges against him. One of only two (Letter to Coroticus) original works. Invaluable for understanding the person behind the legends.
This was a quick read and maybe something worth owning for devotional purposes. Or I may read it online: http://www.ccel.org/ccel/patrick/confession.toc.html
