Book Description

Weaving Words and Binding Bodies; (PDF) features the first comprehensive study of weaving and binding imagery through intertextual study and close readings of Beowulf; riddles; the poetry of Cynewulf; and other important texts. Megan Cavell highlights the outstanding use of weaving and binding in previously unrecognized formulas; collocations; and type-scenes; shedding light on key tropes such as the lord-retainer “bond” and the gendered role of “peace-weaving” in Anglo-Saxon society. Through the study of metrical; rhetorical; and linguistic features and canonical and ignored texts in a wide range of genres; Weaving Words and Binding Bodies makes an important contribution to the ongoing study of Anglo-Saxon poetics.

A captivating examination of the interrelated images of weaving and binding in Old English verse; Weaving Words and Binding Bodies discloses an Anglo-Saxon cultural preoccupation with the conceptual nexus of constriction and construction.” — Miranda Wilcox; Department of English; Brigham Young University
