Informed by multicultural, multidisciplinary perspectives, The
Cambridge History of Early Medieval English Literature offers a new
exploration of the earliest writing in Britain and Ireland, from
the end of the Roman Empire to the mid-twelfth century. Beginning
with an account of writing itself, as well as of scripts and
manuscript art, subsequent chapters examine the earliest texts from
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and the tremendous breadth of
Anglo-Latin literature. Chapters on English learning and literature
in the ninth century and the later formation of English poetry and
prose also convey the profound cultural confidence of the period.
Providing a discussion of essential texts, including Beowulf and
the writings of Bede, this History captures the sheer inventiveness
and vitality of early medieval literary culture through topics as
diverse as the literature of English law, liturgical and devotional
writing, the workings of science and the history of women's
writing.
