Maring's project examines the expressive possibilities created by hybridization as well as how these expressions influence our interpretation of individual poems from the ninth to eleventh centuries.English poetryOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismEnglish languageOld English, ca. 450-1100English poetryHistory and criticism.English language829/.1Maring Heather1971-1561835MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792819903321Signs that sing3828874UNINA
