The Jewels of Indra's Net
The Anglo-Saxon Chancery
This is a strange book in various respects. Whereas the title might suggest a contribution to the long-standing debate over the production of charters in later Anglo-Saxon England, the book does not mobilise fresh argument in this area, and in reality has narrower concerns. The main purpose of its author, Ben Snook, is to explore the literary dimensions of charters in a period in which ambitious ‘hermeneutic’ Latin was extensively employed within…
Becoming a Poet in Anglo-Saxon England, by Emily V. Thornbury
Emily Thornbury’s book is an important study of the practice of poetic composition in Anglo-Saxon England. At its heart is a concern to view poetry as a social and linguistic phenomenon, and to consider it in relation to wider forms of community.

A notable feature is the book’s scope, spanning the whole of t…

As literary criticism it seeks to illuminate similarities and differences in how science and scientists are…

Feminine Freedom/Metafictional Autonomy in "Los largos días"
Contemporary Mexican author Joaqu?n-Armando Chac?n demonstrates an acute awareness of the complexities facing a male writer who attempts to depict the female other in narrative. In his novels to date, Los largos d?as, Las amarras terrestres, and El recuento de los da?os, female characters have positions of great structural and thematic importance. However, these images of females, like all characters, enjoy an existence contingent on the masculin…
