Aldhelm of Malmesbury has been described as 'the first English man
of letters'. He was the first Germanic author to compose
extensively in Latin metrical verse, and his Latin works were
amongst the most influential in Anglo-Saxon England. Aldhelm can
also be considered the best-read of Anglo-Saxon poets, in both
senses of the phrase: he read most and was most read. In this first
book-length study of Aldhelm's poetic art Andy Orchard traces the
sources and models for Aldhelm's idiosyncratic style, as well as
the nature and extent of his influence on later Anglo-Latin verse.
Aldhelm's innovations in Latin verse technique are emphasized, in
particular his special debt to the specific techniques of Old
English vernacular verse.
