Tyler\u0026amp;#x2019;s innovative combination of attention to intertextuality and regard for social networks emphasizes the role of women at the centre of Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman court literature. In doing so, she argues that both Emma and Edith\u0026amp;#x2019;s negotiation of conquests and factionalism created powerful models of queenly patronage that were subsequently adopted by individuals such as Queen Margaret of Scotland, Countess Adela of Blois, Queen Edith\/Matilda, and Queen Adeliza. \u003ci\u003eEngland in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new lighton the connections between English, French, and Flemish history-writing and poetry and illustrates the key role Anglo-Saxon literary culture played in European literature long after 1066.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote on Translations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1: Vernacular Foundations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2: Fictions of Family: The \u003ci\u003eEncomium Emmae Reginae\u003c\/i\u003e and Virgil\u0026amp;#x2019;s \u003ci\u003eAeneid\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3: Talking about History: The \u003ci\u003eEncomium Emmae Reginae\u003c\/i\u003e and the Court of Harthacnut\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4: The Politics of Allusion in Eleventh-Century England: Classical Poets and the \u003ci\u003eVita Ædwardi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5: Reading Through the Conquest\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6: The Women of 1066\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7: Edith Becomes Matilda\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion: Endings and Beginnings\u003c\/p\u003eBibliography\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":52685335757080,"sku":"9781442640726","price":55.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/england-in-europe-english-royal-women-and-literary-patronage-c-1000-c-1150-hardback-9781442640726","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
