Authority and Intertextuality in the Works of Ælfric
Authority and Intertextuality in the Works of Ælfric
Sir Israel Gollancz Memorial Lecture
This lecture discusses the intellectual and textual systems within which Ælfric and his Carolingian models were working. It focuses on Ælfric's cultural context, compositional process, and his interaction with his textual community. The sources are considered to be simply forms of evidence for interpretation. The author uses two main investigation procedures: a critical examination of the efficacy of the models of interpretation used in modern source-study scholarship, and an analysis of the construction of the early medieval system of intertextual discourse.
Keywords: intellectual systems, textual systems, Ælfric, Carolingian models, compositional process, textual community, early medieval system of intertextual discourse
