Description
The scribes of early medieval England wrote out their vernacular
poems using a format that looks primitive to our eyes because it lacks the familiar visual cues of verse lineation,
marks of punctuation, and capital letters. The paradox is that scribes had those tools at their disposal, which they
deployed in other kinds of writing, but when it came to their vernacular poems they turned to a sparser presentation.
How could they afford to be so indifferent? The answer lies in the expertise that Anglo-Saxon readers brought to the
task. From a lifelong immersion in a tradition of oral poetics they acquired a sophisticated yet intuitive understanding
of verse conventions, such that when their eyes scanned the lines written out margin-to-margin, they could pinpoint with
ease such features as alliteration, metrical units, and clause boundaries, because those features are interwoven in the
poetic text itself. Such holistic reading practices find a surprising source of support in present-day eye-movement
studies, which track the complex choreography between eye and brain and show, for example, how the minimal punctuation
in manuscripts snaps into focus when viewed as part of a comprehensive system.
How the
Anglo-Saxons Read Their Poems uncovers a sophisticated collaboration between scribes and the earliest readers of poems
like Beowulf, The Wanderer, and The Dream of the Rood. In addressing a basic question that no previous study has
adequately answered, it pursues an ambitious synthesis of a number of fields usually kept separate: oral theory,
paleography, syntax, and prosody. To these philological topics Daniel Donoghue adds insights from the growing field of
cognitive psychology. According to Donoghue, the earliest readers of Old English poems deployed a unique set of skills
that enabled them to navigate a daunting task with apparent ease. For them reading was both a matter of technical
proficiency and a social practice.
