Content:
Robert D. Fulk is arguably the greatest Old English philologist to emerge during the twentieth century; his corpus of scholarship has fundamentally shaped contemporary understanding of many aspects of Anglo-Saxon literary history and English historical linguistics.〈BR〉 This volume, in his honour, brings together essays which engage with his work and advance his research interests. Scholarship onhistorical metrics and the dating, editing, and interpretation of Old English poetry thus forms the core of this book; other topics addressed include syntax, phonology, etymology, lexicology, and paleography. An introductory overview of Professor Fulk's achievements puts these studies in context, alongside essays which assess his contributions to metrical theory and his profound impact on the study of 〈I〉Beowulf〈/I〉. By consolidating and augmenting Fulk's research, this collection takes readers to the cutting edge of Old English philology. 〈BR〉〈BR〉 Leonard Neidorf is a Junior Fellow at theHarvard Society of Fellows; Rafael J. Pascual is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Harvard University; Tom Shippey is Professor Emeritus at St Louis University.〈BR〉〈BR〉 Contributors: Thomas Cable,Christopher M. Cain, George Clark, Dennis Cronan, Daniel Donoghue, Aaron Ecay, Mark Griffith, Megan E. Hartman, Stefan Jurasinski, Anatoly Liberman, Donka Minkova, Haruko Momma, Rory Naismith, LeonardNeidorf, Andy Orchard, Rafael J.
