Connecting the theory of tradition with the phenomenon of
influence, Michael Drout moves beyond current theories and extends
his own work from How Tradition Works. This forward-looking study
introduces a new methodology - lexomics, the use of computer-aided
statistical analysis to identify influence - and integrates
research from cognitive psychology and evolutionary biology with
traditional, philological approaches to literature, specifically
the Anglo-Saxon poems of second codicological booklet of the Exeter
Book. An example of hard interdisciplinarity, Tradition and
Influence contributes to Anglo-Saxon studies, oral tradition,
evolutionary epistemology, and cultural theory.
