Power of Words Anglo-saxon Studies Presented to Donald G. Scragg on His Seventieth Birthday

The Power of Words: Anglo-Saxon Studies Presented to Donald G. Scragg on his Seventieth Birthdayedited by Jonathan Wilcox and Hugh Magennis will find its place on the same shelf with these and other such valuable tomes in the discipline. This is a complex and carefully edited book, that showcases the work of some of Professor Scragg's best students and most admiring professional friends. The contents range from several studies in homiletic literature, one of Professor Scragg's own passions, to other of his pursuits, including editing theory and orthography. These are not, however, derivative essays that recommend a single adjustment in a reading or to a source study; instead, they are studies that do what Professor Scragg himself did: they observe clues to larger realities, and they point the way to a broader comprehension of our discipline and its several methodologies.Magennis, Hugh is the author of 'Power of Words Anglo-saxon Studies Presented to Donald G. Scragg on His Seventieth Birthday', published 2006 under ISBN 9781933202150 and ISBN 1933202157.
