For the Anglo-Saxons, Latin was a language of choice that revealed
a multitude of beliefs and desires about themselves as subjects,
believers, scholars, and artists. In this groundbreaking
collection, ten leading scholars explore the intersections between
identity and Latin language and literature in Anglo-Saxon England.
Ranging from the works of the Venerable Bede and St Boniface in the
eighth century to Osbern's account of eleventh-century Canterbury,
Latinity and Identity in Anglo-Saxon Literature offers new insights
into the Anglo-Saxons' ideas about literary form, monasticism,
language, and national identity. Latin prose, poetry, and musical
styles are reconsidered, as is the relationship between Latin and
Old English. Monastic identity, intertwined as it was with the
learning of Latin and reformation of the self, is also an important
theme. By offering fresh perspectives on texts both famous and
neglected, Latinity and Identity will transform readers' views of
Anglo-Latin literature.
