While readers usually assume the metaphorical nature of such literary images, Leslie Lockett, in \u003cem\u003eAnglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions\u003c\/em\u003e, argues that these depictions are literal representations of Anglo-Saxon folk psychology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLockett analyses both well-studied and little-known texts, including Insular Latin grammars, \u003cem\u003eThe Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e, the Old English Soliloquies, \u003cem\u003eThe Rhyming Poem\u003c\/em\u003e, and the writings of Patrick, Bishop of Dublin. She demonstrates that the Platonist-Christian theory of the incorporeal mind was known to very few Anglo-Saxons throughout most of the period, while the concept of mind-in-the-heart remained widespread. \u003cem\u003eAnglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions\u003c\/em\u003e examines the interactions of rival - and incompatible - concepts of the mind in a highly original way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbbreviations and Short Titles\u003cbr\u003eNote to Readers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Toward an Integrated History of Anglo-Saxon Psychologies\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnglo-Saxon Anthropologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Hydraulic Model of the Mind in Old English Narrative\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Hydraulic Model, Embodiment, and Emergent Metaphoricity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Psychological Inheritance of the Anglo-Saxons\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst Lessons in the Meaning of Corporeality: Insular Latin Grammars and Riddles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnglo-Saxon Psychology among the Carolingians: Alcuin, Candidus Wizo, and the Problem of Augustinian Pseudepigrapha\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Alfredian \u003cem\u003eSoliloquies\u003c\/em\u003e: One Man\u0026amp;#x2019;s Conversion to the Doctrine of the Unitary \u003cem\u003esawol\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eÆlfric\u0026amp;#x2019;s Battle against Materialism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpilogue: Challenges to Cardiocentrism and the Hydraulic Model during the Long Eleventh Century (ca. 990–ca. 1110)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBibliography\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndex\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52685325402392,"sku":"9781487522285","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/anglo-saxon-psychologies-in-the-vernacular-and-latin-traditions-paperback-softback-9781487522285","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
