Description
This study uses examinations of Exeter riddles, Old English religious verse and Beowulf to formulate the poetics of spolia – creative transformations of martial and architectural plunder serving to signal metatextual reflection.
Denis Ferhatovic is Associate Professor of English at Connecticut College, New London
'Ferhatovic ´demonstrates how productive the turn to material culture can be for understanding early medieval poetry.'
Speculum
'Ferhatovic has created a rich tapestry exploring these prominent, unsettling things as they are reflected in the poetry of a culture that knew all too well what plunder meant. His debut monograph provides a sharply argued and unconventional approach to several perplexing and important Old English works, finding a dramatically new angle from which to explore them.'
