Whether a drop blessed by saintly relics or a river flowing to the sea, water formed part of the natural landscapes, religious lives, cultural expressions, and physical needs of medieval women and men.00This volume adopts an interdisciplinary perspective to enlarge our understanding of the overlapping qualities of water in early England (c. 400 - c. 1100). Scholars from the fields of archaeology, history, literature, religion, and art history come together to approach water and its diverse cultural manifestations in the early Middle Ages. Individual essays include investigations of the agency of water and its inhabitants in Old English and Latin literature, divine and demonic waters, littoral landscapes of church archaeology and ritual, visual and aural properties of water, and human passage through water. As a whole, the volume addresses how water in the environment functioned on multiple levels, allowing us to examine the early medieval intersections between the earthly and heavenly, the physical and conceptual, and the material and textual within a single element. 505 00 $g Index. $g Acknowledgements -- $g Abbreviations -- $t Modor is monigra mÅerra wihta : Watering the World in Exeter Book Riddle / $r Jill Frederick -- $t Sacred Nature of Rivers, Wells, Springs, and Other Wetlands in Anglo-Saxon England / $r Delia Hooke -- $t Rivers and Rituals : Baptism in the Early English Landscape / $r Carolyn Twomey -- $t Swimming in Anglo-Saxon England / $r Simon Trafford -- $t Sounds of Salvation : Nautical Noise in Old English and Anglo-Latin Literature / $r Rebecca Shores -- $t Sailors, the Sea Monster, and the Saviour : Depicting Jonah and the Ketos in Anglo-Saxon England / $r Elizabeth A.
