Anglo-Saxon keywords

About this book

Anglo-Saxon Keywords offers 75 essays written by leading medievalist, Allen J. Frantzen, about a wide range of topics that link modern culture to the central concepts of Anglo-Saxon literature, language, and material culture. These keywords, many adapted from the famous work by Raymond Williams, will enable students at any level, generalists, and specialists working outside the period to become better acquainted with Anglo-Saxon texts and cultural forces. Anglo-Saxonists already familiar with these concepts will find that the book offers new connections to recent intellectual and social traditions. --From dust jacket.
