Weaving Words and Binding Bodies: The Poetics of Human Experience in Old English Literature – PDF

Weaving Words and Binding Bodies, (PDF) includes the initially extensive research study of weaving and binding images through intertextual research study and close readings of Beowulf, riddles, the poetry of Cynewulf, and other crucial texts. Megan Cavell highlights the exceptional usage of weaving and binding in formerly unacknowledged solutions, junctions, and type-scenes, clarifying crucial tropes such as the lord-retainer “bond” and the gendered function of “peace-weaving” in Anglo-Saxon society. Through the research study of metrical, rhetorical, and linguistic functions and canonical and neglected texts in a large range of categories, Weaving Words and Binding Bodies makes an essential contribution to the continuous research study of Anglo-Saxon poetics.
