Childhood and Adolescence in Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture counters
the generally received wisdom that early medieval childhood and
adolescence were an unremittingly bleak experience. The
contributors analyse representations of children and their
education in Old English, Old Norse and Anglo-Latin writings,
including hagiography, heroic poetry, riddles, legal documents,
philosophical prose and elegies. Within and across these linguistic
and generic boundaries some key themes emerge: the habits and
expectations of name-giving, expressions of childhood nostalgia,
the role of uneducated parents, and the religious zeal and
rebelliousness of youth. After decades of study dominated by adult
gender studies, Childhood and Adolescence in Anglo-Saxon Literary
Culture rebalances our understanding of family life in the
Anglo-Saxon era by reconstructing the lives of medieval children
and adolescents through their literary representation.
