Rebel Angels: Space and Sovereignty in Anglo-Saxon England - Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture
Fitzgerald, Jill (Assistant Professor of English)
This book examines the ‘fall of the angels’ tradition in early medieval sermons, saints’ lives, legal documents and Old English biblical poetry. It argues that Anglo-Saxon authors adapted apocryphal and patristic accounts in ways that allowed them to express their ideas concerning ecclesiastical and secular power. -- .
