This collection of twenty-nine papers is in honour of E. G.
Stanley, Rawlinson and Bosworth Emeritus Professor of Anglo-Saxon
at the University of Oxford and Emeritus Fellow of Pembroke
College, Oxford. Written by scholars he has supervised, examined or
otherwise served as mentor for within the last twenty years, the
contributors illustrate the advantages of following John Donne's
axiom to 'doubt wisely'. Professor Stanley's own published work has
shown the utility of wise scepticism as a critical stance; these
papers presented to him apply similar approaches to a wide variety
of texts, most of them in the field of Old or Middle English
literature. The primary focus of the collection is on the close
reading of words in their immediate context, which commonly entails
a reconsideration of accepted assumptions. Consequently, new links
are created here among the disciplines in medieval studies, based
on various combinations of these scholarly applications.
Contributors provide new analyses of such difficult but rewarding
fields as Old English metre and syntax, Beowulf, the origins and
development of standard English, the definitions of Old English
words and their connotations, the styles and themes of Old English
poems, Middle English poetry and prose, the post-medieval reception
of medieval works and the styles, themes and sources of Old English
poetry and prose.
M.J. Toswell is Associate Professor of English at the University
of Western Ontario.E.M. Tyler is Lecturer in the Department of
English and Related Literature at the Centre for Medieval Studies,
University of York.
