This thesis examines representations of ANGER in Old English by analysing occurrences of eight word families (YRRE, GRAM, BELGAN, WRĀÞ, HĀTHEORT, TORN, WĒAMŌD and WŌD) in prose and poetry. Through inspection of 1800 tokens across c. 400 texts, it determines the understanding of how ANGER vocabulary operates in the Old English lexicon and...
London: Aelfrics Society, 1843-1856. — 256 p. In the year 1832 a German man of letters, Dr. Blum, in the course of his inquiries into the contents of the Italian libraries, discovered at Vercelli, in the Milanese, a thick volume of Anglosaxon homilies. The interest which this very unexpected piece of good fortune excited both in England and Germany, was soon increased to the very...
University of Oxford, 2011. — 129 p. Old English (OE) differs from Present Day English (PDE) in many ways although the most noticeable is perhaps consituent order. Many generative analyses from van Kemenade (1987) to Pintzuk (1999) have sought to explain Old English word order, but no purely transformational account has successfully explained the data. In this thesis, I show...
University of Nottinghame, 2024. — 115 p. Alfredian literature is at the forefront of early-medieval English (AngloSaxon) literary studies today. Scholars have largely been preoccupied with debating how much of the corpus is authentically Alfred’s and how much was composed by others under the king’s name. I shall address a more pertinent question: what do these texts reveal...
University of Leeds, 2014. — 335 p. This thesis considers three synonyms in the Old English semantic field of slavery: wealh, esne, þræl. It situates esne, often neglected, as a major word denoting slave and a rival to þeow in all dialects except Late West Saxon. This reveals the bias of the authors of the Anglo-Saxon Dictionary who defined this word incorrectly, seeking to...
Liverpool University Press, 2016. — XIV, 378 p. — (Exeter Medieval Texts and Studies). This is the first edition of "Andreas" for 55 years, also the first to present the Anglo-Saxon, or rather Old English, text with a parallel Modern English poetic translation. The book aim not only to provide both students and scholars with an up-to-date text and introduction and notes, but...
University of Oxford, 2021. — 307 p. This thesis argues that Ælfric of Eynsham deliberately adapted information from continental Latin sources in order to emphasise ideals of community, co-operation and collective identity to English audiences in his Lives of Saints, the most stylistically and narratively accomplished collection of hagiography composed in Early Medieval...
Aberystwyth University, 2016. — 142 p. A collection of poems translated from the Old English poem Judith, and loosely adapted to the period of English history between 980-1000CE, particularly the second wave of Viking invasions as recorded by Alfred in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Judith: A New Verse Translation tells the story of Judith, an Anglo-Saxon woman who saves her town...
De Gruyter Mouton, 2020. — 88 p. — (De Proprietatibus Litterarum. Series Practica 37). This book can also be seen as a beginning study in the opposites of freedom and order: how the Guthlac II poet in a unique way used formula's or "parallel phrases", and how within the strict limits of Sievers' five verse types he expressed large emotion about the life and death of St....
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1899. — 328 p. The Old English Boethius is an Old English translation/adaptation of the sixth-century Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, dating from between c. 880 and 950. Boethius's work is prosimetrical, alternating between prose and verse, and one of the two surviving manuscripts of the Old English translation renders the poems as Old English...
University of Toronto Press, 2008. — XII, 240 p. — (Toronto Old English Series 18). While there is little evidence of formal rhetorical instruction in Anglo-Saxon England, traditional Old English poetry clearly shows the influence of Latin rhetoric. 'Verse and Virtuosity' demonstrates how Old English poets imitated and adapted the methods of Latin literature, and, in...
Illinois State University, 2020. — 67 p. This thesis examines the eleventh-century collection of Early English hagiography, the Lives of Saints; specifically, four female saints’ lives, those of Saint Agnes, Cecilia, Eugenia and Euphrosyne. Using Judith Butler’s gender performativity theory, I consider how female gender is constructed in these texts by examining gender as...
York Medieval Press, 2006. — 214 p. Traditions are created and maintained by groups of people living in specific times and places: they do not have a life of their own. In this radical new approach to Old English poetics, the author argues that the apparent timelessness and stability of Old English poetic convention is a striking historical phenomenon that must be accounted...
University of Toronto Press, 1979. — 129 p. — (Toronto Old English Series 4). At King Alfred’s command, Bishop Wærferth of Worcester translated Gregory’s Dialogues into English during the last quarter of the ninth century. About a century or a century and a half later, between 950 and 1050, someone, probably again at Worcester, went through the translation with painstaking...
