This book examines the little-known origins of the Anglo-Saxon literary tradition, focusing particularly on the encounter between the pagan Germanic warrior culture and the culture of early English Christianity. The author traces the emergence of an Anglo-Saxon literary sensibility from their oral traditions, through the conversion to Christianity, to the development of a written literature under the influence of Latin Christian culture. The book explores the tensions and conflicts between these two cultures, and the ways in which they shaped the development of Anglo-Saxon literature. It sheds light on the complex and dynamic relationship between Christianity and paganism in the early Middle Ages, and provides a fresh perspective on the origins of English literature.
