| Summary |
Anglo-Saxon Keywords presents a series of entries that reveal the links between modern ideas and scholarship and the central concepts of Anglo-Saxon literature, language, and material culture. Reveals important links between central concepts of the Anglo-Saxon period and issues we think about today. Reveals how material culture--the history of labor, medicine, technology, identity, masculinity, sex, food, land use--is as important as the history of ideas. Offers a richly theorized approach that intersects with many disciplines inside and outside of medieval studies |
