Poetry was the great collective medium through which the Anglo-Saxons conceived of and mentally adjusted to their changing social world, contends Niles. He says poetry took on a quasi-mythic aspect as it responded to contemporary issues and concerns, and examines as myths a selection of Old English poems written down during the late 10th century, though perhaps composed earlier. Versions of several chapters have appeared elsewhere. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Company. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
