Drawing from a reservoir of undertreated early English documents and texts, each contributor shows how individual poets, ecclesiasts, legists, and institutions claimed Anglo-Saxon predecessors for rhetorical purposes in response to social, cultural, and linguistic change. Contributors trouble simple definitions of identity and period, exploring how medieval authors looked to earlier periods of history to define social identities and make claims for their present moment based on the political fiction of an imagined community of a single, distinct nation unified in identity by descent and religion. Contributors are Cynthia Turner Camp, Irina Dumitrescu, Jay Paul Gates, Erin Michelle Goeres, Mary Kate Hurley, Maren Clegg Hyer, Nicole Marafioti, Brian O?Camb, Kathleen Smith, Carla Marķa Thomas, Larissa Tracy, and Eric Weiskott. 410 0$aExplorations in Medieval Culture;$vvolume11. 606 $aAnglo-Saxons$xHistoriography 606 $aCivilization, Anglo-Saxon$xHistoriography 606 $aCivilization, Medieval$xHistoriography 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xAppreciation$zEngland 606 $aAnglo-Saxons in literature 606 $aMiddle Ages in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yAnglo-Saxon period, 449-1066$xHistoriography 615 0$aAnglo-Saxons$xHistoriography. 615 0$aCivilization, Anglo-Saxon$xHistoriography. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval$xHistoriography. 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xAppreciation 615 0$aAnglo-Saxons in literature. 615 0$aMiddle Ages in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history 676 $a942.01072 702 $aGates$b Jay Paul 702 $aO'Camb$b Brian 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793877803321 996 $aRemembering the medieval present$93850858 997 $aUNINA
