Présentation de l'éditeur:

 As one of the most prolific and influential scholars in the field,Thomas D. Hill has made an indelible mark on the study of Old Englishliterature. In celebration of his distinguished career, the editors of Source of Wisdomhave assembled a wide-ranging collection of nineteen original essays onOld English poetry and prose as well as early medieval Latin, touchingupon many of Hill's specific research interests.

Among the topicsexamined in this volume are the Christian-Latin sources of Old Englishtexts, including religious and 'sapiential' poetry, and prosetranslations of Latin writings. Old English poems such as Beowulf, The Dream of the Rood, and The Wife's Lamentare treated, throughout, to thematic, textual, stylistic, lexical, andsource analysis. Prose writers of the period such as King Alfred andWærferth, as well as medieval Latin writers such as Bede andPseudo-Methodius are also discussed. As an added feature, the volumeincludes a bibliography of publications by Thomas D. Hill.

Source of Wisdomis, ultimately, a contribution to the understanding of medieval Englishliterature and the textual traditions that contributed to itsdevelopment.
