Abstract:
The book offers a bold analysis of how English royal women of the Anglo-Saxon, Danish and Norman dynasties used literary patronage to negotiate conquest and factionalism in the 11th and early 12th centuries. The author's innovative combination of intertextuality and regard for social networks emphasizes the role of women at the centre of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman court literature and illustrates the key role Anglo-Saxon literary culture played in European literary culture long after 1066
