"The author argues that a singular, Anglo-Saxon sense of self may be found by analyzing their surviving verse. The concept of the individual, with an identity outside of her community, is clearly evident during this period. The view that the individual as we understand it did not really exist until the Renaissance does not stand up to scrutiny"-- Provided by publisher.
