The volume argues for the relevance of the early Middle Ages to affect studies and vice-versa, offering a riposte to antifeminist discourse and opening avenues for future work by specialists in the history of emotions, literary theorists, students of Old English literature and medieval scholars alike. To this end, the essays embody a range of critical approaches from queer theory to animal studies and ecocriticism to actor-network theory. 330 8 $a"Dating Beowulf playfully redeploys the word 'dating' to direct attention to questions of intimacy, affect, and erotics. It thereby creates new relationships with an Old English poem that has not seen a radical reconsideration of its position within the field of literary studies for at least a decade.In addition to serving as a touchstone for critics engaged in debates about the future of early medieval studies, the book also opens affect to a premodern archive and vice-versa. It addresses urgent contemporary issues such as ecological imperialism and toxic masculinity, mobilizing queer and feminist readings in order expose the study of Old English literature to a more diverse range of voices and approaches. Featuring essays from some of the most prominent figures in the field, the book provides an alternative to the increasingly outmoded companions to the poem currently available, and will be useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students as well as to scholars and teachers at all levels.As these essays reveal, the intimacies within Beowulf ultimately escape the charged confines of the poem, which remains - perhaps paradoxically - anonymous and undated. Dating Beowulf opens new avenues for future work by specialists in the history of emotions, literary theorists, students of Old English literature, and medieval scholars alike." -- Back cover. 410 0$aManchester medieval literature and culture. 606 $aIntimacy (Psychology) in literature 606 $aMedieval Literature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval$2bisach 606 $aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval$2thema 610 $aAffect 610 $amedieval studies 610 $aliterary theory 610 $afeminist criticism 610 $aecocriticism 610 $aBeowulf 610 $aqueer theory 610 $aerotic 615 0$aIntimacy (Psychology) in literature. 615 7$aMedieval Literature 615 7$aLiterary Studies: Classical, Early & Medieval 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Medieval 615 7$aLiterary studies: ancient, classical & medieval 676 $a829.3 700 $aRemeiner$b Daniel C$4edt$01319538 702 $aWeaver$b Erica$4edt 702 $aRemeiner$b Daniel C$4oth 702 $aWeaver$b Erica$4oth 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367591303321 996 $aDating Beowulf$93033939 997 $aUNINA
