"Lastworda Betst"

Résumé du livre

Eight essays reflect Christine Fell's interest in Old English and Norse semantics, Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian history and English place-names. The essays include: Bede and Caedmon's Hymn ( Paul Cavill ); Of Editors and the Old English poetry of the Exeter Book ( Roberta J Dewa ); Women in English place-names ( Carole Hough ); From Pots to People: Two hundredd years of Anglo-Saxon Archaeology ( Sam Lucy ). The second half of the volume presents eight unpublished writings by the Nottingham Professor. These focus, for example, on the translation and interpretation of specific Old English words, on the relation of Anglo-Saxon words and women and runes and riddles.
