Moving beyond a focus on individual literary texts, the book presents ample coverage of the different schools, methods, and assumptions that have affected the discipline over the years. It examines notable works and authors from the period, including Beowulf, the Venerable Bede, heroic poems, and devotional literature. It also uses excerpts from ten critical studies to reinforce key perspectives and methods introduced within the text. The book addresses the complex questions of medieval literacy, textuality, and orality, as well as issues of style, gender, genre, and theme. It embraces the interdisciplinary nature of the field with references to historical studies, religious studies, anthropology, art history, and much more. Drawing on over a century's worth of scholarly work, this is an essential guide to the factors that have shaped the modern critical reception of the earliest English literature"-- Provided by publisher.Blackwell guides to criticism.CriticismHistory20th centuryEnglish literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismTheory, etcCriticismHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticismTheory, etc.829/.09Niles John D.443563MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910795949503321Old English Literature1739106UNINA
