Description
This book provides a parallel reading of the ExeterBook riddles and theWondersof the East in order to identify the loci in the Early Medieval English literary tradition where animality and humanitymay have overlapped & explores how both collections expose the means by which human, animals and other creatures resist a fixed categorization.
Jasmine Bria earned a PhD in Germanic Philology from the University of Calabria in 2021, where she is now research grant holder and temporary adjunct professor.
She writes on both the Old English and Middle English periods. Currently, she is working on the Arthurian narratives in the textual tradition of the Brut en prose.
