Winters in the World: A Journey through the Anglo-Saxon Year
by Eleanor Parker
Now available in paperback, Winters in the World is a beautifully observed journey through the cycle of the year in Anglo-Saxon England. This book explores the festivals, customs, and traditions linked to the different seasons.
Drawing on a wide variety of source material, including poetry, histories, and religious literature, Eleanor Parker investigates how the Anglo-Saxons felt about the annual passing of the seasons and the profound relationship they saw between human life and the rhythms of nature.
Many of the festivals we celebrate in Britain today have their roots in the Anglo-Saxon period. This book traces their surprising history and unearths traditions now long forgotten. It celebrates some of the finest treasures of medieval literature and provides an imaginative connection to the Anglo-Saxon world.
