The triple themes of textile, text, and intertext, three powerful and
evocative subjects within both Anglo-Saxon studies and Old English
literature itself, run through the essays collected here. Chapters
evoke the semantic complexities of textile references and images drawn
from the Bayeux Tapestry, examine parallels in word-woven poetics,
riddling texts, and interwoven homiletic and historical prose, and
identify iconographical textures in medieval art. The volume thus
considers the images and creative strategies of textiles, texts, and
intertexts, generating a complex and fascinating view of the material
culture and metaphorical landscape of the Anglo-Saxon peoples. It is
therefore a particularly fitting tribute to Professor Gale R.
Owen-Crocker, whose career and lengthy list of scholarly works have
centred on her interests in the meaning and cultural importance of
textiles, manuscripts and text, and intertextual relationships between
text and textile.
