  • Cain's Kin and Abel's Blood: Beowulf 1361-4
    Opticon1826, Issue 9, Autumn 2010 CAIN’S KIN AND ABEL’S BLOOD: BEOWULF 1361-4 By Michael D.J. Bintley Amongst the various texts which are thought to have influenced the depiction of Grendel’s mere in Beowulf, the possibility has not yet been considered that the poet also drew upon a tradition associated with Grendel’s descent from Cain, also to be found in the composite Genesis poem of the Junius manuscript (Oxford, Bodleian Library MS Junius 11, SC 5123), and Aldhelm’s Carmen de virginitate. This connection only becomes apparent upon closer examination of the woodland grove overhanging the refuge in Grendel’s fens. Of the many trees that appear in Old English literature, few can be as sinister as these. These trees contribute memorably to Hrothgar’s description of the mere: Nis þæt feor heonon milgemearces þæt se mere standeð; ofer þæm hongiað hrinde bearwas, wudu wyrtum fæst wæter oferhelmað. It is not far hence in a measure of miles that the mere stands; over it hang frosty trees, a wood fast in its roots overshadows the water. (Beowulf 1361-4)1 These trees appear once again in the description of the journey to the mere following the attack by Grendel’s mother: Ofereode þa æþelinga bearn steap stanhliðo, stige nearwe, enge anpaðas, uncuð gelad, neowle næssas, nicorhusa fela; he feara sum beforan gengde wisra monna wong sceawian, oþ þæt he færinga fyrgenbeamas ofer harne stan helonian funde wynleasne wudu; wæter under stod dreorig on gedrefed. Then went those sons of nobles over steep and stony slopes, thin ascending paths, narrow single tracks, unknown ways, precipitous cliffs, many dwellings of water-monsters.

  • Of St Cuthbert'
    A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham by Ruth Robson of St Cuthbert' 1. Market Place Welcome to A Literary Pilgrimage of Durham, part of Durham Book Festival, produced by New Writing North, the regional writing development agency for the North of England. Durham Book Festival was established in the 1980s and is one of the country’s first literary festivals. The County and City of Durham have been much written about, being the birthplace, residence, and inspiration for many writers of both fact, fiction, and poetry. Before we delve into stories of scribes, poets, academia, prize-winning authors, political discourse, and folklore passed down through generations, we need to know why the city is here. Durham is a place steeped in history, with evidence of a pre-Roman settlement on the edge of the city at Maiden Castle. Its origins as we know it today start with the arrival of the community of St Cuthbert in the year 995 and the building of the white church at the top of the hill in the centre of the city. This Anglo-Saxon structure was a precursor to today’s cathedral, built by the Normans after the 1066 invasion. It houses both the shrine of St Cuthbert and the tomb of the Venerable Bede, and forms the Durham UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Durham Castle and other buildings, and their setting. The early civic history of Durham is tied to the role of its Bishops, known as the Prince Bishops. The Bishopric of Durham held unique powers in England, as this quote from the steward of Anthony Bek, Bishop of Durham from 1284-1311, illustrates: ‘There are two kings in England, namely the Lord King of England, wearing a crown in sign of his regality and the Lord Bishop of Durham wearing a mitre in place of a crown, in sign of his regality in the diocese of Durham.’ The area from the River Tees south of Durham to the River Tweed, which for the most part forms the border between England and Scotland, was semi-independent of England for centuries, ruled in part by the Bishop of Durham and in part by the Earl of Northumberland.

  • Old English Literature: a Brief Summary
    Volume II, Issue II, June 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 Old English Literature: A Brief Summary Nasib Kumari Student J.k. Memorial College of Education Barsana Mor Birhi Kalan Charkhi Dadri Introduction Old English literature (sometimes referred to as Anglo-Saxon literature) encompasses literature written in Old English (also called Anglo-Saxon) in Anglo-Saxon England from the 7th century to the decades after the Norman Conquest of 1066. "Cædmon's Hymn", composed in the 7th century according to Bede, is often considered the oldest extant poem in English, whereas the later poem, The Grave is one of the final poems written in Old English, and presents a transitional text between Old and Middle English.[1] Likewise, the Peterborough Chronicle continues until the 12th century. The poem Beowulf, which often begins the traditional canon of English literature, is the most famous work of Old English literature. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle has also proven significant for historical study, preserving a chronology of early English history.Alexander Souter names the commentary on Paul's epistles by Pelagius "the earliest extant work by a British author".[2][3] In descending order of quantity, Old English literature consists of: sermons and saints' lives, biblical translations; translated Latin works of the early Church Fathers; Anglo-Saxon chronicles and narrative history works; laws, wills and other legal works; practical works ongrammar, medicine, geography; and poetry.[4] In all there are over 400 survivingmanuscripts from the period, of which about 189 are considered "major".[5] Besides Old English literature, Anglo-Saxons wrote a number of Anglo-Latin works.

  • The Blickling Homilies R. Morris
    The Blickling Homilies Translated by R. Morris In parentheses Publications Old English Series Cambridge, Ontario 2000 I. The Annunciation of Saint Mary [Jesus came into the world in order that his divine] nature might be manifested, and that sin might be eradicated; and the doom of Eve’s infelicity, which was denounced against her (that she should bring forth her children in pain and in sorrow) was reversed when Mary brought forth the Lord with rejoicing. Eve conceived through carnal lust, Mary in her womb conceived the merciful and the innocent Christ. Eve bare tears in her womb, Mary brought forth through herself the everlasting joy for all the world. Eve brought forth her child in pain because she had conceived in sin. The Holy Ghost sowed the pure seed in the undefiled womb (of Mary), wherefore she, being a virgin became a mother, because, being a virgin, she had conceived. Each of these circumstances was miraculous, both that she had conceived without defilement, and that in child-bearing she continued ever immaculate. Gabriel was the messenger of these nuptials. What spake he to her, or what heard she when he spake? ‘Hail, Mary! full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ And through this greeting (salutation) she conceived, because he brought her everlasting salvation upon his tongue; but the devil, through the venom-bearing (venomous) adder (serpent), deceived the first woman with his evil suggestions and treachery, wherefore the angel spake to our Lord’s mother, and thus addressed her: ‘Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with thee!’ The grace was brought for the sin of the first woman.

  • Copyright 2014 Jill Hamilton Clements
    Copyright 2014 Jill Hamilton Clements DEATH, WRITING, AND REMEMBRANCE IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND BY JILL HAMILTON CLEMENTS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English with a concentration in Medieval Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Charles D. Wright, Chair Associate Professor Renée R. Trilling Professor Martin Camargo Professor Jana K. Schulman, Western Michigan University ABSTRACT The Anglo-Saxon conversion to Christianity was as much a revolution in literacy as it was in religion. I argue that within this new textual culture, the Anglo-Saxons exploited writing’s aura of permanence to counter the social, spiritual, and physical oblivion of death. By using writing both to preserve the dead metonymically through the textualization of their absent bodies and to project their metaphorical inscription in heaven, Anglo-Saxon authors defined selfhood and community in relation to death and the afterlife. Whether inscribed on stone, inked on parchment, or carved into the very landscape, the written text was therefore a mechanism and a metaphor for remembrance of the dead. I trace the Anglo-Saxon ways of “writing the dead” and the metaphoric and metonymic uses of inscription in several genres, including Old English heroic and religious poetry, Anglo-Latin prose, and commemorative texts and inscriptions. Each chapter explores a manifestation of the power of writing to embody the

  • Völuspá and the Feast of Easter
    John McKinnell Völuspá and the Feast of Easter t is generally agreed that Völuspá has been infl uenced by Christian ideas to some extent, but the nature of that infl uence has been debated. Of course it is true, as Daniel Sävborg has pointed out ( 2003, 131), that all the Old Norse I poetry that survives comes from a time when Christianity was already to some extent infl uential in northern Europe. But there is a difference between the adop- tion of commonplace Christian expressions (such as calling Óðinn Alföðr ‘Father of all’, cf. Latin Pater omnium) or general ideas (e.g. that some beings will be resur- rected after Ragnarök) on the one hand, and on the other the suggestion that spe- cifi c Christian texts have been used as source material for Völuspá.1 This paper will address only the latter type of infl uence, and will consider what criteria should be used in evaluating whether any particular claimed source is probable or not. I shall then go on to make a suggestion of my own. The Religious Context of Völuspá It is fi rst necessary to consider whether Völuspá is genuinely pre-Christian or not. In polytheistic cultures, the measure of acceptance of a monotheistic religion is not whether its god is accepted, for a religious system with many gods can usually fi nd room for a new one without any basic alteration of itself. The real measure of conversion has to be the rejection of all gods except that of the monotheistic religion. We have several examples in Germanic sources of polytheists who also worshipped Christ—men such as the East Anglian king Rædwald or the Icelandic settler Helgi inn magri (Landnámabók chap.
