The Yearbook of English Studies for 2022, edited by Clare A. Lees and Joshua Davies, brings together a group of international researchers who offer some of their current work on the earliest centuries of medieval literature and culture, under the title Literature to 1200.

Posing the question of what the study of the early Middle Ages looks like in 2022, the essays presented here offer a snapshot of work in the field. This volume demonstrates the urgent social, cultural, and political questions that animate early medieval English studies; it explores the various communities who engage with it, both past and present; and it demonstrates the breadth and variety of research in this vital period of literary and material culture.

Literature to 1200 offers new insights into the study of religious devotion, Old English poetry and poetics, book history, the history of reading, and material culture. Researchers turn their attention to the Franks Casket and the Cotton World Map, the Life of Margaret and that of Pega, sister to the saintly Guthlac. Other essays explore the queer use of the Old English dual pronoun, forge Indigenous readings of The Wife’s Lament, and reassess the manuscript history of the Old English Bede. Examining the ethics of witnessing and of reading in early medieval texts as well as the re-deployment of medieval culture in contemporary arts and in environmental debate, Literature to 1200 also includes important accounts of the history of racism in early medieval studies and the building of other forms of collectivity, Indigenous and American/ Medieval among them, that address trans-temporal possibilities of place and community.
