Abstract

This collection of essays makes an original contribution to medieval manuscript studies through its deep engagement with the material side of book creation, anchored by bringing together major scholars of medieval manuscripts with leading contemporary book artists. The result is a ground-breaking collection that will be of interest both for its methodological implications and for the insights that the case studies provide.In a sequence of interconnected essays, experts in the field of literature, history, art, and manuscript studies enact readings of medieval manuscripts that incorporate extreme attention to the materiality of the object of their study. While the digital revolution has provided unparalleled access to medieval manuscripts, these essays are attentive to what has got left behind - not just the aura of the original, but also the engagement of the senses, such as the feel of the binding, the heft of the volume, the smell of the parchment, or the sound of the pages. By bringing together experienced medievalist scholars with practicing book artists of today, the present collection brings back an artisanal sense of the complete book to an understanding of medieval manuscripts.

Abstract

Although the question of humour in the surviving corpus of Old English literature has rarely been discussed, the potential for analyzing this literature in terms of its humor is in fact considerable. In the essays especially commissioned for this volume, the first book-length treatment of Anglo-Saxon humor, eight of the foremost scholars in the field use different approaches to explore humor in the surviving literature of Anglo-Saxon England, in such works as 'Beowulf' and 'The Battle of Maldon', the riddles of the Exeter book, and Old English saints' lives. The articles are prefaced with an introduction surveying the field. Through its unusual focus, this collection will provide an appealing introduction to both famous and lesser-known works for those new to Old English literature, while those familiar with the usual contours of Old English literary criticism will find here the value of a fresh approach. JONATHAN WILCOX is Associate Professor of English at the University of Iowa and editor of the 'Old English Newsletter'.
