Reading Old English Texts, first published in 1997, focuses on the
critical methods being used and developed for reading and analysing
writings in Old English. The collection is timely, given the
explosion of interest in the theory, method, and practice of
critical reading. Each chapter engages with work on Old English
texts from a particular methodological stance. The authors are all
experts in the field, but are also concerned to explain their
method and its application to a broad undergraduate and graduate
readership. The chapters include a brief historical background to
the approach; a definition of the field or method under
consideration; a discussion of some exemplary criticism (with a
balance of prose and verse passages); an illustration of the ways
in which texts are read through this approach, and some suggestions
for future work.
