reviewed The Disenchanted Self: Representing the Subject in the Canterbury Tales on July 23, 2015 The Disenchanted Self: Representing the Subject in the Canterbury Tales
It's an impressive collection of essays, all dealing with the representation of women--or, rather, gendered-female figures--in Old English literature, though studies sometimes cross over to Old Norse et al. Edited by Helen Damico and Alexandra Hennessy Olsen and including essays on Beowulf, Genesis B, AElfric and much, much more, 'New Readings on Women in Old English Literature' most likely has something for every student of Anglo-Saxon literature and culture. I'd particularly recommend the chapters by Jane Chance ('Structural Unity') and Alain Renoir ('Eve's I.Q.'), both of which have been of use to me in the past.
