Over six hundred years before John Milton's Paradise Lost,
Anglo-Saxon authors told their own version of the fall of the
angels. This book brings together various cultural moments,
literary genres and relevant comparanda to recover that version,
from the legal and social world to the world of popular spiritual
ritual and belief. The story of the fall of the angels in
Anglo-Saxon England is the story of a successfully transmitted
exegetical teaching turned rich literary tradition. It can be
traced through a range of genres - sermons, saints' lives, royal
charters, riddles, devotional and biblical poetry - each one
offering a distinct window into the ancient myth's place within the
Anglo-Saxon literary and cultural imagination. -- .
This book reviews the shifting conceptions of writing and revision,
noting the ways in which views of knowledge and knowing shape
teaching and research. Fitzgerald, as a reading and writing
researcher, recognizes that how we revise is shaped by how we read
and respond to our unfolding texts. She argues that how we write
and read is ultimately shaped by how we know-that is, how we seek
to make sense of the world. How and why do we revise when we write?
How do we differ in the extent or level of revisions due to
differences in our purpose, mode of writing, perceptions of
audience, or phase of development of our writing? What motivates us
to revise-a need to clarify our expression, to rethink or alter our
ideas, to influence our reader in certain ways, or to fulfill our
own purposes? These questions have always intrigued composition
theo rists and researchers; however, it is only in the past 15
years that researchers have seriously and systematically sought
answers to these questions."
