| Abstract | Increasing awareness of early medieval England as part of a transnational network of multicultural and multilingual exchange has led to the reevaluation of perceived boundaries in periodisation, analysis, and classification of Old English language, literature, and culture. These developments allow us to gain a more nuanced understanding of how texts were received, read, and circulated within a sophisticated process of linguistic and conceptual adaptation, integration, and recontextualisation: how they were entangled, and how we can begin to examine these networks of entanglement. These panels will both contain papers which explore (at least) one of the following: Old English intertextualities, multicultural and multilingual interaction in Old English poetry, and digital approaches to networks and developments. |
