Due to conquests and colonialism through the centuries, it is not
unusual for languages and cultures to be influenced by other,
foreign languages and cultures. The modern English language, for
example, owes many of its words to Old Norse and Latin, debts
dating from contacts made during the Middle Ages. Verbal Encounters
is a collection of papers on the cultural and linguistic exchange
in Old Norse, Old English, and medieval Latin literature written in
honour of Roberta Frank, former University Professor of Medieval
Studies at the University of Toronto.The essays feature new
scholarship in the field, on topics such as the integral position
of Anglo-Latin within Anglo-Saxon culture and literature,
constructions of feminine strength and effectiveness in Anglo-Saxon
literature, the rise of Latin-based learning in twelfth-century
Iceland, medieval Icelandic religious poetry, and the conversion to
Christianity in medieval Scandinavia.The essays in Verbal
Encounters are not merely a fitting tribute to Roberta Frank, but
also strong contributions to current scholarship on medieval
literature and culture.
