| Abstract | Increasing awareness of early medieval England as part of a transnational network of multicultural and multilingual exchange has led to the re-evaluation 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. |
