Why are characters sometimes called into being for no apparent reason other than to embody a psychological state? Britt Mize provides the first systematic investigation into these salient questions in Traditional Subjectivities.Through close analysis of vernacular poems alongside the most informative analogues in Latin, Old English prose, and Old Saxon, this work establishes an evidence-based foundation for new thinking about the nature of Old English poetic composition, including the 'poetics of mentality' that it exhibits. Mize synthesizes two previously disconnected bodies of theory - the oral-traditional theory of poetic composition, and current linguistic work on conventional language - to advance our understanding of how traditional phraseology makes meaning, as well as illuminate the political and social dimensions of surviving texts, through attention to Old English poets' impulse to explore subjective perspectives. 410 0$aToronto Anglo-Saxon series ;$v12. 606 $aEnglish poetry$yOld English, ca. 450-1100$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFolk poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aOral tradition$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aCharacters and characteristics in literature 606 $aSubjectivity in literature 606 $aEmotions in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFolk poetry, English (Old)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aOral tradition$xHistory 615 0$aCharacters and characteristics in literature. 615 0$aSubjectivity in literature. 615 0$aEmotions in literature. 676 $a829/.1009 700 $aMize$b Britt$0968142 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463346003321 996 $aTraditional subjectivities$92198841 997 $aUNINA
