Text and Picture in Anglo-Saxon England: Narrative Strategies in the Junius 11 M

Description: Text and Picture in Anglo-Saxon England by Catherine E. Karkov Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A study of the relationship between text and picture in the only surviving illustrated Anglo-Saxon poetic manuscript. It locates the manuscript within the cultural contexts in which it was produced, documenting its transformation by poets, artists, scholars and editors from biblical poetry to a national historical narrative. Publisher Description This book explores the complex interrelationship between texts and drawings in the late tenth or early eleventh-century Junius II manuscript, the only surviving illustrated Anglo-Saxon poetic manuscript. The book, which contains a plate section of sixty-one illustrations, focuses on the way in which the drawings both illustrate the text and translate it into a new visual language. Poems and illustrations work to create a carefully crafted and unified manuscript, but both also use formulaic language, iconography and compositions to construct a web of intertextual and intervisual references that open the poems to readings far more diverse than those of the biblical books on which they are based. Together poems and drawings create a new and unique version of biblical history, and suggest ways in which biblical history relates to Anglo-Saxon history and the manuscripts Anglo-Saxon audience - a process which has been extended by the manuscripts many editors to include contemporary history and the contemporary reader. Author Biography Professor Catherine E. Karkov has taught at Miami University since 1990 and is an affiliate in both the History and Womens Studies departments. She is editor of The Archaeology of Anglo-Saxon England: Basic Readings (New York, 1999), and co-editor of numerous books on the art and archaeology of early medieval England and Ireland.
