Poetic Art of Aldhelm

by Andy Orchard

Aldhelm of Malmesbury was the first Germanic author to compose extensively in Latin metrical verse, and his Latin works were amongst the most influential in Anglo-Saxon England. This first book-length study of Aldhelm's poetic art traces the sources and models for his idiosyncratic style, the nature and extent of his influence on later Anglo-Latin verse, and his innovations in Latin verse technique. 314p. (Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England 8, Cambridge UP 1994)
