The Anglo-Saxon Warrior Ethic: Reconstructing Lordship in Early English Literature
John M. Hill
An application of anthropological research to Old English heroic literature. Anglo-Saxon poems and fragments seem to preserve a long-standing Germanic code of heroic values, but John Hill shows that these values are probably not much older than the poems that record and advance them.
