Anglo-Saxons valued education yet understood how precarious it
could be, alternately bolstered and undermined by fear, desire, and
memory. They praised their teachers in official writing, but
composed and translated scenes of instruction that revealed the
emotional and cognitive complexity of learning. Irina Dumitrescu
explores how early medieval writers used fictional representations
of education to explore the relationship between teacher and
student. These texts hint at the challenges of teaching and
learning: curiosity, pride, forgetfulness, inattention, and
despair. Still, these difficulties are understood to be part of the
dynamic process of pedagogy, not simply a sign of its failure. The
book demonstrates the enduring concern of Anglo-Saxon authors with
learning throughout Old English and Latin poems, hagiographies,
histories, and schoolbooks.
