This revised edition of "A History of Old English Literature" draws extensively on recent scholarship in the field to address developments within English literary and historical studies in the last ten years. While retaining a core of material covered in previous editions, the text is enriched with the addition of two brand new chapters addressing the period of Anglo–Latin culture in England, as well as writing genres traditionally considered outside canonical English literary circles. This edition reflects the increasing circulation of figures such as Gesine Geddes, Carol Meyerson, Jane Stevenson, and Lisa McDonald Zane among other critical voices in classicist circles."A History of Anglo Saxon Literature" responds to the current upsurge in historicism within medieval studies to incorporate and reassess relationships between medieval monuments and broader socio-cultural fabrics of the period. It covers material such as legal documents and scientific, technological and philosophical treatises, previously defocused or embodied in discrete chapters. In widening the literary spectrum covered, this revised edition highlights the intersections between theoretical and general cultural reading which breeds from a broadly understood scholarly endeavour.
This revised edition of Alfred Musson's A History ofOld English Literature grapples with a whole new range of scholarship that has evolved over recent decades. It features greatly elaborated notes and analyses, including new chapters concerning manuscript evidence and the analysis of minor and marginal literary texts. Two additional chapters have been written on Anglo - Saxon legal scholarship and even on medieval accidentals. Interestingly, this revised book demonstrates the field's unique role in contemporary literary debate.
