Description

Aldhelm of Malmesbury was the first Germanic author to compose extensively in Latin metrical verse, and his Latin works were amongst the most influential in Anglo-Saxon England. This first book-length study of Aldhelm's poetic art traces the sources and models for his idiosyncratic style, the nature and extent of his influence on later Anglo-Latin verse, and his innovations in Latin verse technique.
