To many folks, the study of Old English language and literature may seem dull, moribund, rarefied, and largely irrelevant-- a subject only of concern to concern only to musty old academics in the ivory tower. Frantzen doesn't (directly) try to argue against this perception-- instead, he tries to investigate *why* this perception exists. His answer is an insightful and eye-opening investigation into the relationship among scholarship, ideology, and cultural relevance.

reviewed Desire for Origins: New Languages, Old English, and Teaching and Tradition on November 24, 2008 Desire for Origins: New Languages, Old English, and Teaching and Tradition
This book brings up many important questions for the study (and teaching) of Anglo-Saxon. My focus area is not A-S, but I may very well be teaching it in the future alongside Middle English, so many of the concerns are issues I should be thinking about. Even so, I think many of the ideas Frantzen brings up can be applied to Middle English studies. I shall have to ponder this book much more.
