Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between the Old English poem, "Christ I," and its sources in the Antiphonary, a collection of liturgical chants used in Christian worship. The author argues that the poet's dependence on these sources was not merely thematic but extended to the structure and arrangement of the poem. By examining each of the twelve divisions of "Christ I," the author uncovers a hidden unity and coherence that challenges previous assumptions about the poem's composition. The book offers a fresh perspective on the creative process of Cynewulf, the Anglo-Saxon author, and sheds light on the profound influence of liturgical practices on early English literature. Ultimately, this study reveals the rich tapestry of religious and literary traditions that shaped one of the most significant works in Old English poetry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
