Dorothy Whitelock

Dorothy Whitelock, (11 November 1901 – 14 August 1982) was an English historian. From 1957 to 1969, she was the Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Cambridge. Her best-known work is ''English Historical Documents, vol. I: c. 500-1042'', which she edited. It is a compilation of translated sources, with introductions.

Her other works include ''The Beginnings of English Society'' (1952), ''After Bede'' (1960), ''The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle – A Revised Translation'' (1961), ''The Audience of Beowulf'' (1951), and ''Genuine Asser'' (1967), in which she argued against V. H. Galbraith's assertion that Asser's ''Life of King Alfred'' was a forgery by Leofric. Provided by Wikipedia
