Strange Likeness

Provides an account of how Old English (or Anglo-Saxon) was rediscovered by twentieth-century poets, and the uses to which they put that discovery in their own writing. This book also looks at issues such as linguistic primitivism, the supposed 'purity' of the English language, the politics and ethics of translation, and others.
