The publication of this volume of essays is a milestone in Old English studies. 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.
The subjects discussed fall into the following broad categories: the historical record; sexuality and folklore; language and difference in characterization and the "deconstructed" stereotype. Contributors include Marijane Osborn; Christine E. Fell; F.T. Wainwright; Pauline Stafford; Frank M. Stenton; Mary P. Richard s and B. Jane Stanfield; Carol J. Clover; Edith Whitehurst Williams; Paul E. Szarmach; Audrey L. Meaney; Helen Damico; Patricia A. Belanoff; L. John Sklute; Paul Beekman Taylor; Alexandra Hennessey Olsen; Joyce Hill; Jane Chance; Alain Renoir; Dolores Warwick Frese; and Anita R. Riedinger.

New Readings on Women in Old English Literature
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.
