Literary Research and the Anglo-Saxon and Medieval Eras: Strategies
and Sources is a guide to scholarly research in the field of
medieval English literature covering the period 450 CE to 1500 CE.
Graduate students and scholars researching this period face many
challenges: working in two distinct literary traditions,
comprehending multiple languages (Old English, Middle English,
Latin, Anglo-Norman, and French), knowing the manuscript tradition
for a particular title and the research methodologies for
discovering and locating primary sources in the print and digital
realms, and the awareness of the overlap and assimilation of
literary themes with religious, historical, cultural, and political
perspectives. The volume presents the best practices for building a
foundation of sound scholarship practices in the field of medieval
English literature. This volume explores primary and secondary
resources, including general literary research guides; types of
library catalogs; print and online bibliographies and indexes;
scholarly journals and series; manuscripts, archives, and digital
collections; genres; tools for understanding Old and Middle English
such as dictionaries, lexicons, thesauri, glosses, etymologies,
palaeographies, and text mining tools; and Web resources. The final
chapter researches the shifting reputation of the poet, Thomas
Hoccleve. Given the interdisciplinary nature of medieval studies,
an appendix of additional readings in art, history, music,
philosophy, religion, science, social sciences, and theater is
provided.
