More about the book
Multilingualism was a defining characteristic of pre-Norman Britain, where Old English coexisted with four other languages, shaping a rich literary culture. This Element synthesizes evidence from the era, emphasizing the interconnectedness of languages in various aspects of life, including religion, politics, and the arts. Through thematic sections and case studies, it illustrates how these languages influenced each other, arguing for a dynamic transcultural literary and linguistic landscape that thrived prior to the Norman Conquest.
