Description

This session includes papers that consider avenues of influence and exchange between Anglo-Saxon England and Carolingian Europe. Beginning with Alcuin in 782, ideas, texts and people moved freely between Anglo-Saxon England and the Frankish empire, with profound implications for both cultures. Source study, an approach dedicated to elucidating connections among texts, remains an important tool for scholars seeking deeper understanding of these debts, and this panel will bring together papers committed to doing this important work. The papers in this session, therefore, trace one or more of the many textual and intellectual connections between Anglo-Saxon England and Carolingian Europe.
