{"product_id":"new-readings-on-women-in-old-english-literature","title":"New Readings on Women in Old English Literature","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe publication of this volume of essays is a milestone in Old English studies. It is the first collection to examine this literature from a feminist perspective. Although the contributors represent a plurality of approaches and positions, they share a common objective: to reassess women as women, as they actually appear in the laws, in works written by women, and in canonical literature. The essays address, correct, and round out the nineteenth-century Anglo-Saxon critical tradition and begin fresh exploration of the women in Old English literature.\u003cbr\u003e The subjects discussed fall into the following broad categories: the historical record; sexuality and folklore; language and difference in characterization and the \"deconstructed\" stereotype. Contributors include Marijane Osborn; Christine E. Fell; F.T. Wainwright; Pauline Stafford; Frank M. Stenton; Mary P. Richard s and B. Jane Stanfield; Carol J. Clover; Edith Whitehurst Williams; Paul E. Szarmach; Audrey L. Meaney; Helen Damico; Patricia A. Belanoff; L. John Sklute; Paul Beekman Taylor; Alexandra Hennessey Olsen; Joyce Hill; Jane Chance; Alain Renoir; Dolores Warwick Frese; and Anita R. Riedinger.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230251307352,"sku":"9780253205476","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780253205476_9aff6767-55ae-4588-bc97-4772a9e198cf.jpg?v=1778562069","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/new-readings-on-women-in-old-english-literature","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
