Goths in the Memory of the Anglo-saxons: a Discussion of Gothic History in Anglo-saxon Literary Sources
Tibor Tarcsay
The book investigates the picture painted of the Goths in Anglo-Saxon sources up to and including the reign of King Alfred (d. 899). The analysed literary works include Beowulf, Elene, Deor, and King Alfred's translations of Orosius and Boethius. Through comparison with the antecedents, contemporaries and occasional later derivatives of the literary pieces, ranging from 300 to 1550, from Rome to Scandinavia, the author presents a full treatment of the Anglo-Saxons' memories of the Goths.
