{"product_id":"multilingualism-in-early-medieval-britain-lindy-brady-9781009467896","title":"Multilingualism in Early Medieval Britain","description":"In the words of its own historians, pre-Norman Britain held five languages and four peoples. Yet in modern scholarship, Old English is too often studied separately from the other languages that surrounded it. This Element offers a comprehensive synthesis of the evidence from the pre-Norman period that situates Old English as one of several living languages that together formed the basis of a vibrant oral and written literary culture in early medieval Britain. Each section centres around a key thematic topic and is illustrated through a series of memorable case studies that encapsulate the extent to which multilingualism appeared in every facet of life in early medieval Britain: religious and scholarly; political and military; economic and cultural; intellectual and artistic. The Element makes an overall argument for the dynamic extent of transcultural literary and linguistic culture in early medieval Britain before the arrival of the Normans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindy Brady\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009467891\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009467896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Lindy Brady","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46867164037375,"sku":"9781009467896","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c22d8d2-2ce1-492e-911d-40c49f6a3a21.jpg?v=1747454066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multilingualism-in-early-medieval-britain-lindy-brady-9781009467896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
