Bredehoft traces a tradition of 'literate-formulaic' composition in the period and contends that many phrases conventionally considered oral formulas are in fact borrowings or "ations. His identification of previously unrecognized Old English poems and his innovative arguments about the dates, places of composition, influences, and even possible authors for a variety of tenth- and eleventh-century poems illustrate that the failure of scholars to recognize the late Old English verse tradition has seriously hampered our literary understanding of the period. Provocative and bold, Authors, Audiences and Old English Verse has the potential to transform modern understandings of the classical Old English poetic tradition. 410 0$aToronto Anglo-Saxon series ;$v5. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish language$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xVersification 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVersification. 676 $a829.1009 700 $aBredehoft$b Thomas A.$0770049 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458620203321 996 $aAuthors, audiences, and Old English verse$92036840 997 $aUNINA
