Smith traces the intersections between land tenure and literature in Anglo-Saxon England. Smith aptly demonstrates that as land became property through the operations of writing, it came to assume a complex range of conceptual values that Anglo-Saxons could use to engage a number of vital cultural concerns beyond just the legal and practical - such as political dominion, salvation, sanctity, status, and social and spiritual obligations. Land and Book places a variety of texts - including charters, dispute records, heroic poetry, homilies, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle - in a dynamic conversation with the procedures and documents of land tenure, showing how its social practice led to innovation across written genres in both Latin and Old English. Through this, Smith provides an interdisciplinary synthesis of literary, legal, and historical interests. 410 0$aToronto Anglo-Saxon series ;$v13. 606 $aLand tenure in literature 606 $aLand tenure$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLand tenure$xLaw and legislation$zEngland$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLand tenure in literature. 615 0$aLand tenure$xHistory 615 0$aLand tenure$xLaw and legislation$xHistory. 676 $a829/.093553 700 $aSmith$b Scott Thompson$0899136 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452894703321 996 $aLand and book$92008792 997 $aUNINA
