New approaches to a range of Old English texts. Throughout her
career, Professor Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe has focused on the
often-overlooked details of early medieval textual life, moving
from the smallest punctum to a complete reframing of the
humanities' biggest questions. In her hands, the traditional tools
of medieval studies -- philology, paleography, and close reading -
become a fulcrum to reveal the unspoken worldviews animating early
medieval textual production. The essays collected here both honour
and reflect her influence as a scholar and teacher. They cover
Latin works, such as the writings of Prudentius and Bede, along
with vernacular prose texts: the Pastoral Care, the OE Boethius,
the law codes, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, and AElfric's Lives of
Saints. The Old English poetic corpus is also considered, with a
focus on less-studied works, including Genesis and Fortunes of Men.
This diverse array of texts provides a foundation for the volume's
analysis of agency, identity, and subjectivity in early medieval
England; united in their methodology, the articles in this
collection all question received wisdom and challenge critical
consensus on key issues of humanistic inquiry, among them affect
and embodied cognition, sovereignty and power, and community
formation.
