Focusing on the production and reception of Old English texts and on their relation to Anglo-Saxon history and culture, this new edition covers an exceptionally broad array of genres. These range from riddles and cryptograms to allegory, liturgical texts, and romance, as well as lyric poetry and heroic legend. The authors also integrate discussions of Anglo-Latin texts, crucial to understanding the development of Old English literature. This second edition incorporates extensive reference to scholarship that has evolved over the past decade, with new chapters on both Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and on incidental and marginal texts. There is expanded treatment throughout, including increased coverage of legal texts and scientific and scholastic texts. The book concludes with a retrospective outline of the reception of Anglo-Saxon literature and culture in subsequent periods. 410 0$aBlackwell histories of literature. 606 $aEnglish literature$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aChristian hagiography$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aChristian hagiography$xHistory 676 $a829.09 686 $a930.24$2njb/09 686 $a829.09$2njb/09 701 $aCain$b Christopher M$0719751 701 $aAnderson$b Rachel S$0943034 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910208819003321 996 $aA history of Old English literature$94213158 997 $aUNINA
