Essays bringing out the crucial importance of philology for
understanding Old English texts. Robert D. Fulk is arguably the
greatest Old English philologist to emerge during the twentieth
century; his corpus of scholarship has fundamentally shaped
contemporary understanding of many aspects of Anglo-Saxon literary
historyand English historical linguistics. This volume, in his
honour, brings together essays which engage with his work and
advance his research interests. Scholarship on historical metrics
and the dating, editing, and interpretation of Old English poetry
thus forms the core of this book; other topics addressed include
syntax, phonology, etymology, lexicology, and paleography. An
introductory overview of Professor Fulk's achievements puts these
studies in context, alongside essays which assess his contributions
to metrical theory and his profound impact on the study of Beowulf.
By consolidating and augmenting Fulk's research, this collection
takes readers to the cutting edgeof Old English philology. LEONARD
