Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Paper-covered boards. Minor shelf wear. Else a bright, clean copy. New Readings on Women in Anglo-Saxon Literature and Culture showcases current and original scholarship relating to women in Anglo-Saxon culture and in Anglo-Saxon studies and promises to stimulate new work in those areas. Honouring the eminent scholar Helen Damico as well as the seminal volume she edited almost thirty years ago with Alexandra Hennessy Olsen, the essays in this volume remind us that feminist inquiry is as vital and robust as it was then.

Their diversity and freshness, along with their archival and methodological range, reveal a robust commitment to feminist interdisciplinarity, while their refusal of any grand master narrative takes seriously the complexity of Anglo-Saxon women's lives, as well as the elusive relationship between history, literary symbols, textual representations, and social and cultural practices.…
