While the essays offered in this collection vary in subject,
discipline, and methodological approach, they center on the
interpretation of the material world, whether that materiality
appears in literature, stone, or the artifacts removed from an
archaeological dig. The essay deal mainly with the Germanic and
Celtic worlds, but incorporate motifs from Eastern Christian and
Roman cultures. Contributors address the themes of time in history;
societal and ideological change and continuity; iconic style and
polysemous textuality; symbolic and representational
interpretation; gender-specific economic production; definitions of
social and political structures; and social processes of
eclecticism and adaptation. Hence the approaches are
interdisciplinary, contextual, comparative, and fluid in their
integration of texts and images where the text represented is as
crucial to the meaning as is the image or object; they therefore
represent the study of the material culture of the Anglo-Saxon
period at its best. The variety of disciplines represented in the
essays and the range of topics covered by the individual scholars
give some indication of the enormous scope of the scholarship of
Rosemary Cramp, in whose honor this volume was produced. Readers
will find that the subjects dealt with resonate with each other in
interesting and complex ways. It is an invaluable contribution to
scholars of Anglo-Saxon culture and archaeology.
