Book Description
A HISTORY OF OLD ENGLISH LITERATURE A History of Old English Literature has been significantly revised to provide an unequivocal response to the renewed historicism in medieval studies. Focusing on the production and reception of Old English texts and on their relation to Anglo-Saxon history and culture, this new edition covers an exceptionally broad array of genres. These range from riddles and cryptograms to allegory, liturgical texts, and romance, as well as lyric poetry and heroic legend. The authors also integrate discussions of Anglo-Latin texts, crucial to understanding the development of Old English literature. This second edition incorporates extensive reference to scholarship that has evolved over the past decade, with new chapters on both Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and on incidental and marginal texts. There is expanded treatment throughout, including increased coverage of legal texts and scientific and scholastic texts. The book concludes with a retrospective outline of the reception of Anglo-Saxon literature and culture in subsequent periods.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Early English Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: Being the History of English Poetry From Its Beginnings to the Accession of King AElfred The books Augustine brought to England were a Bible in two volumes, a Testament, a Psalter, an exposition Of the Gospels and Epistles, a book of martyrs and some apocryphal lives Of the Apostles. Fresh books arrived in 601, and it is said that two Of these mss. Of the Gospels still exist - one at Corpus, Cambridge, the other at the Bodleian.1 Shortly after the baptism of persons in the Swale on Christmas Day 597, the place where the cathedral rose was occupied, and the abbey Of ss. Peter and Paul (st. Augustine's) was founded. It became the seat Of the first learning and literature that Rome carried to this land, and the books Augustine brought over were enshrined in it. The first library was begun, and with it the first schools. We cannot, however, say for certain that the Latin Mission at once founded schools in Kent, though Baeda says, speaking of thirty years later, that the wish of Sige berht to have schools in East Anglia, such as he had seen in Gaul, was carried into effect by Bishop Felix, after t/ze fiatfemz of Me sc/zools in Kiwi. What is interesting is a conjecture Of Earle's that there may have been Roman schools Of grammar still existing in Canterbury when Augustine arrived. If Canterbury was not wholly destroyed by the invaders, it is just possible that the Roman schools may have been spared.
