First published in 2001, Double Agents was the first book-length study of women in Anglo-Saxon written culture that took on the insights provided by contemporary critical and feminist theory, and it quickly established itself as a standard. Now available again, it complicates the exclusion of women from the historical record of Anglo-Saxon England by tackling the deeper questions behind how the feminine is modeled, used, and made metaphoric in Anglo-Saxon texts, even when the women themselves are absent.
Clare A. Lees is professor of medieval literature at King's College London. Gillian R. Overing is professor of English at Wake Forest University. They have collaborated on a number of projects, including, most recently, A Place to Believe In: Locating Medieval Landscapes.
