Over six hundred years before John Milton's Paradise Lost,
Anglo-Saxon authors told their own version of the fall of the
angels. This book brings together various cultural moments,
literary genres and relevant comparanda to recover that version,
from the legal and social world to the world of popular spiritual
ritual and belief. The story of the fall of the angels in
Anglo-Saxon England is the story of a successfully transmitted
exegetical teaching turned rich literary tradition. It can be
traced through a range of genres - sermons, saints' lives, royal
charters, riddles, devotional and biblical poetry - each one
offering a distinct window into the ancient myth's place within the
Anglo-Saxon literary and cultural imagination. -- .
