Anglo-Saxon Literature: An Introduction makes the literature of the
Anglo-Saxon period (AD410 - 1066) accessible to today's readers.
Author Mark Amodio, who is an authority on oral theory, helps
readers to overcome the linguistic, aesthetic and cultural barriers
to understanding Anglo-Saxon literature, and to appreciate just how
vital and dynamic the surviving works of verse and prose from this
period are.Amodio starts by familiarizing readers with the world in
which Anglo-Saxon texts were produced, particularly its language,
politics, religion, and by introducing the key literary figures of
whom we know. He goes on to offer original readings of particular
works, including Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, The Wanderer, The
Seafarer and The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and to situate them within
current critical debates about the role of women, notions of
authorship and textual integrity, the role of scribes, and more.
