It is the first collection to examine this literature from a feminist perspective. Although the contributors represent a plurality of approaches and positions, they share a common objective: to reassess women as women, as they actually appear in the laws, in works written by women, and in canonical literature. The essays address, correct, and round out the nineteenth-century Anglo-Saxon critical tradition and begin fresh exploration of the women in Old English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe subjects discussed fall into the following broad categories: the historical record; sexuality and folklore; language and difference in characterization and the \"deconstructed\" stereotype.
