Anglo-Saxon England, Vol. 6

Work in this volume offers insights into the Anglo-Saxons' literature, both Latin and vernacular, their study of Latin, their documents, art and artefacts, agricultural practices, their cognizance of Roman predecessors, and later Icelandic knowledge of them. The literary contributions include a major study of Aldhelm's Latin prose style, arguing against its supposed 'Irishness' and placing it firmly in the main tradition of rhetorical amplification coming through from ancient times.Clemoes, Peter A. is the author of 'Anglo-Saxon England, Vol. 6', published 1977 under ISBN 9780521217019 and ISBN 0521217016.
