Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to Caedmon, the celebrated Anglo-Saxon poet, widely regarded as the father of English literature. It begins by outlining the complex geopolitical context of 7th century England, before exploring the major battles and events that shaped the era. The book delves into the role and impact of the Church in those times, particularly its influence on Caedmon's own life and beliefs. As a chronicle of one of England's first religious poets, this book examines Caedmon's famed metrical paraphrase of Bible stories, notably his treatment of the Genesis narrative. By closely analyzing this work, the book elucidates the creative and linguistic techniques employed by Caedmon. This book will appeal to those interested in Anglo-Saxon history, early English literature, and the origins of Christian poetry in England.
