    Martha BaylessARTICLEFolklore2019References: 7

    As the staple food of England for more than a millennium, bread naturally played a prominent role in English life across the period. The many forms of breads acquired a variety of cultural meanings, some of them extraordinarily long-lived. One of the most perennial types of bread is the subject of this study: miniature round flatbread, the secular, home-produced equivalent of the Eucharist and a potent bearer of cultural meaning for nearly a thou…

  • The Fuller Brooch and Anglo-Saxon depictions of dance

    Open AccessMartha BaylessARTICLEAnglo-Saxon England2016

    The scattered nature of references to dance and the ambiguity of its vocabulary have obscured Anglo-Saxon dance practices, but evidence suggests that dance was a significant cultural phenomenon. The earlier centuries of the Anglo-Saxon period saw the depiction of weapon dances, and later sources also allow us a glimpse of lively secular dance. Performance traditions may have included dance combined with satirical songs, as well as possible secula…

  • Beatus quid est and the study of grammar in late anglo-saxon England

    Martha Bayles, Martha BaylessARTICLEHistoriographia Linguistica1993References: 6

    Beatus quid est, a Latin grammar of English origin, found in an eleventh-century manuscript, has much to tell us about the pedagogy of elementary grammar in the classroom.
