Description
Winters in the World: A Journey through the Anglo-Saxon Year This beautifully observed book explores the cycle of the year in medieval England, tracing the festivals, customs, and traditions linked to the different seasons. Drawing on a wide range of source material, including poetry, histories, and religious literature, Eleanor Parker investigates how the Anglo-Saxons felt about the passing of the seasons and their relationship with nature. Many of the festivals celebrated in the UK today have their roots in the Anglo-Saxon period, and this book delves into their surprising history, unearthing traditions now long forgotten. It celebrates some of the finest treasures of medieval literature, providing an imaginative connection to the Anglo-Saxon world.
