Including seventeen essays by distinguished scholars, this new edition provides a discussion of the literature of the period 600 to 1066 in the context of how Anglo-Saxon society functioned. New chapters cover topics including preaching and teaching, Beowulf and literacy, and a further five chapters have been revised and updated, including those on the Old English language, perceptions of eternity and Anglo-Saxon learning. An additional concluding chapter on Old English after 1066 offers an overview of the study and cultural influences of Old English literature to the present day. Finally, the further reading list has been overhauled to incorporate the most up-to-date scholarship in the field and the latest electronic resources for students.Cambridge companions to literature.English literatureOld English, ca. 450-1100History and criticismHandbooks, manuals, etcGreat BritainHistoryAnglo-Saxon period, 449-1066Handbooks, manuals, etcEnglandCivilizationTo 1066Handbooks, manuals, etcEnglish literatureHistory and criticism829/.09Godden MalcolmLapidge MichaelUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996204516203316Cambridge companion to Old English literature182836UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
