Description
England in the 1640s and 1650s experienced civil wars, regicide, and unprecedented debate over religious and social structures, but it also saw several milestones in the field of early medieval English studies. The volume suggests that the crises through which these scholars lived and worked spurred them to engage with both the past and present, using Old English texts as a lens through which to understand and contribute to contemporary debates about the English church and state. The opening chapters examine the book collecting and lexicographic endeavors of the Parliamentarian Simonds D'Ewes and Abraham Wheelock's pro-Stuart "Old English" poetry and puritan overtones of his edition of the Old English Historia Ecclesiastica. It moves on to consider the constitutionalist Roger Twysden's depiction of early English laws as the cornerstone for English identity in his editions of Archaionomia and the Leges Henrici Primi; and the royalist and Laudian bent of both William Somner's chorographic work and Dictionarium Saxonico-Latino-Anglicum, the first printed dictionary of Old English. It concludes by exploring the ways in which William Dugdale deployed early medieval events to comment on his present day in his Antiquities of Warwickshire.
