In Epistolary Acts, Jordan Zweck examines the presentation of letters in early medieval vernacular literature, including hagiography, prose romance, poetry, and sermons on letters from heaven, moving beyond traditional genre study to offer a radically new way of conceptualizing Anglo-Saxon epistolarity. Zweck argues that what makes early medieval English epistolarity unique is the performance of what she calls "epistolary acts," the moments when authors represent or embed letters within vernacular texts. The book contributes to a growing interest in the intersections between medieval studies and media studies, blending traditional book history and manuscript studies with affect theory, media studies, and archive studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Introduction: epistolary acts and The Husband's Message -- Reconstructing the Anglo-Saxon ars dictaminis : form, vocabulary, and immediacy -- Spreading the word : the Sunday letter, mass communication, and the self-replicating document -- Messengers, materiality, and transmission in the Old English Apollonius of Tyre, Letter of Abgar, and Life of St Mary of Egypt -- Bodies of record : witnessing, memory, and erasure in Ãlfric's Life of St Basil and the anonymous Old English Legend of the Seven Sleepers -- Epilogue: epistolary afterlives. 650 0 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103199 650 0 $a Letter writing $z England $x History $y Medieval, 500-1500. 650 0 $a Letters in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85076243 650 0 $a English poetry $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008103206 650 0 $a English letters $x History. 650 6 $a LitteÌrature anglaise $y ca 450-1100 (Vieil anglais) $x Histoire et critique. 650 6 $a Correspondance $z Angleterre $x Histoire $y 500-1500 (Moyen AÌge) 650 6 $a Lettres (Genre litteÌraire) dans la litteÌrature. 650 7 $a English letters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911983 650 7 $a English literature $x Old English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710962 650 7 $a English poetry $x Old English. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710965 650 7 $a Letters in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996787 650 7 $a Altenglisch. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Briefliteratur. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Brief $g Motiv. $2 gnd 651 7 $a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. $0 (NL-LeOCL)078527112 $2 gtt 650 7 $a English literature $y Old English, ca. 450-1100 $x History and criticism. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a Letter writing $z England $x History $y Medieval, 500-1500. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a Letters in literature. $2 idszbzes 650 7 $a 18.05 English literature. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077611977 $2 nbc 648 7 $a 450-1100 $2 fast 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1986215 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1986215 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 $a Literary criticism. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2017026126 830 0 $a Toronto Anglo-Saxon series ; $v 29. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2009095960 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017013218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D30E0341B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
