Despite the unabated interest in, and studies of, the Domesday inquest and the documents that resulted from it, there remains a lack of scholarly agreement on the purpose for either the inquest or the texts. The contributors to Domesday Now have come to the consensus that the way forward is through a new critical edition of Domesday. Their essays in this volume present new categories of evidence that lay the scholarly foundation for that new edition. . . . Indeed, the variety of essays in Domesday Now demonstrates the potential for work with the aid of such an edition, and points to riches yet to be discovered.
