Book Anglo Saxon England  Volume 29

Download or read book Anglo Saxon England Volume 29 written by Michael Lapidge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-02-08 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The editorial policy of Anglo-Saxon England has been to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to the study of all aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture. This approach is pursued in exemplary fashion by many of the essays in this volume. Fresh light is thrown on the dating and form of Cynewulf's poem The Fates of the Apostles through a comprehensive study of the historical martyrologies of the Carolingian period on which Cynewulf is presumed to have drawn. The literary form of Ælfric's Preface to his translation of Genesis is illustrated through a wide-ranging study of the rhetorical genre of preface-writing in the early Middle Ages (the genre which subsequently was known as the ars dictaminis), and the problems which Ælfric faced and solved in composing a Life of St Æthelthryth are illustrated through detailed comparison of the sources which he utilized. The usual comprehensive bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.

Book Andreas

    Book Details:
  • Author : W. Baskervill
  • Publisher : Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
  • Release : 2016-03-05
  • ISBN : 9781530397211
  • Pages : 88 pages

Download or read book Andreas written by W. Baskervill and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-05 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is one of the most important monuments of the Anglo-Saxon era. Brooke devotes fifteen or more pages to it in his History of Early English Literature. Kemble, Grimm, Grein, and others in foreign countries have studied it laboriously, and edited it, and Baskervill and Cook, among our own countrymen, have edited it either in full or in part. In some aspects, Andreas is closely allied to the heroic poetry of the Anglo-Saxons, reminding us of Beowulf; in others, it is highly typical of the religious poetry of the oldest English period. Jacob Grimm said that, next to Beowulf, Andreas and Elene are the oldest and most instructive productions of Anglo-Saxon poetry. The authorship and date of Andreas are both unknown. Grimm suggested Ealdhelm, bishop of Sherborne, who lived about A.D. 700. Grein, Deitrich, ten Brink, Gollancz, and others have assigned it to Cynewulf, who is thought to have lived in the eighth century. Sievers, Fritzsche, and Brooke think this poem was written by some imitator or follower of Cynewulf, which would probably put it in the early part of the ninth century. Professor Thomas Arnold regarded it as a West-Saxon poem of the eighth century. The most definite theory of authorship is this: The Fates of the Apostles (Gr.-Wülk. Bibliothek, II, pp. 87-91) is the epilogue to the Andreas, and contains the signature which Cynewulf put in Elene, Christ, and Juliana, and the lack of which has kept scholars hitherto from feeling certain of Cynewulf's authorship. Brooke, after weighing all the arguments brought to bear by Gollancz to support this theory, dismisses it as "a happy suggestion," but not proved. The source of the legend is the Acts of Andrew and Matthew in the Acta Apostolorum Apocrypha. An Anglo-Saxon prose version of the legend can be found in Bright's and in Baskervill and Harrison's Anglo-Saxon Readers. Zupitza's theory is that both the prose and the poetical versions are based, not upon the Greek, but upon a lost Latin translation of the Greek legend. This theory is quite generally accepted by scholars.... ....The story is as follows: Matthew is in prison among the Mermedonians, a race of cannibals, who are waiting impatiently for his appointed day to come. To Andrew, who is laboring in Achaia, the command is given by God to go to his brother's (sic) aid. After parleying with the Almighty, Andrew goes to the seashore with his disciples, where he finds a vessel all ready and manned by three sailors. They agreed to take him and his disciples to Mermedonia with them. Long conversations take place between Andrew and the principal sailor, who is none other than God himself, though the apostle does not know it. Andrew is miraculously fed, and, after sailing a considerable distance and meeting stormy weather, he and his young men are miraculously transported to Mermedonia, and laid by the city walls. Christ appears to him in the form of a young man, promises him support, and escape from the cannibals. Then Andrew enters the city, miraculously gains entrance into the prison, and rescues Matthew and two or three hundred other captives. The devil appears upon the scene, and stirs up hatred against Andrew. The apostle is reviled and tortured by the multitude and by seven devils, but is saved and restored to bodily soundness by God's intervention. By stupendous miracles, the cannibals are converted to Christianity. A church is built, a bishop consecrated, and a regular organization perfected among these once cruel and barbarous but now gentle and pious people. After a few days, the apostle bids adieu to his dear converts, who, weeping and wailing, follow him to the shore, and sing a doxology as he embarks on his journey to Achaia, where "he life-departure, violent death endured." - Judith, Phoenix, and Other Anglo-Saxon Poems [1902]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A great book... " -- Choice "... a groundbreaking work of scholarship... " -- Asian Folklore Studies "This extremely fascinating study opens an important chapter in the ethnography of speech, briliantly confirming the views advanced by Dell Hymes, Albert Lord and Richard Baumann." -- The Journal of Indo-European Studies Building on his work in Traditional Oral Epic and Immanent Art, John Foley dissolves the perceived barrier between "oral" and "written," creating a composite theory from oral-formulaic theory and the ethnography of speaking and ethnopoetics. "…a groundbreaking work of scholarship that clears the path for solving the perennial problem of the interpretation of oral-derived texts. The book will be of immense value to students of folklore and literature, and to those seriously interested in the interface of the two traditionally divided disciplines." -- Asian Folklore Studies
