This book is available as an open access ebook under a CC-BY-NC-ND
licence. Nonhuman voices in Anglo-Saxon literature and material
culture uncovers the voice and agency possessed by nonhuman things
across Anglo-Saxon literature and material culture. It makes a new
contribution to 'thing theory' and rethinks conventional divisions
between animate human subjects and inanimate nonhuman objects in
the early Middle Ages. Anglo-Saxon writers and craftsmen describe
artefacts and animals through riddling forms or enigmatic language,
balancing an attempt to speak and listen to things with an
understanding that these nonhumans often elude, defy and withdraw
from us. But the active role that things have in the early medieval
world is also linked to the Germanic origins of the word, where a
thing is a kind of assembly, with the ability to draw together
other elements, creating assemblages in which human and nonhuman
forces combine. -- .
