facts that make each creature unique and exciting. Did you know,
for example, that the Sarcastic Fringe Head fish looks like it's
smiling, but it's really quite grouchy? Or that the Jellyfish
doesn't have a brain or a heart? Actually, it isn't even a fish!
Designed to be read like book, individual pages can then be pulled
out to post and create an enticing deep-water environment in any
child's room.
A New Literary History of the Long Twelfth Century offers a new
narrative of what happened to English language writing in the long
twelfth century, the period that saw the end of the Old English
tradition and the beginning of Middle English writing. It discusses
numerous neglected or unknown texts, focusing particularly on
documents, chronicles and sermons. To tell the story of this
pivotal period, it adopts approaches from both literary criticism
and historical linguistics, finding a synthesis for them in a
twenty-first century philology. It develops new methodologies for
addressing major questions about twelfth-century texts, including
when they were written, how they were read and their relationship
to earlier works. Essential reading for anyone interested in what
happened to English after the Norman Conquest, this study lays the
groundwork for the coming decade's work on transitional English.
