Cambridge University Press The Experience of Education in AngloSaxon
Book SynopsisThis engaging study explores how early medieval writers reflected on the nature of education and the acquisition of wisdom. By studying representations of teaching and learning in five early English texts, Irina Dumitrescu sheds light on the underappreciated emotional and cognitive complexities of Anglo-Saxon instruction.Trade Review'The Experience of Education in Anglo-Saxon Literature does full justice to the Anglo-Saxon interest in pedagogy and the complexity of their attitudes to it. It is also beautifully written, peppered with deft turns of phrase … Dumitrescu has produced a hugely enjoyable, informative, and thought-provoking monograph, which will be of interest to all scholars of early medieval literature.' Susan Irvine, Speculum'Through its patient and generous attention to the literature of early medieval England, [this book] allows the emotional world of literate Anglo-Saxons to live again in its complexity and richness, and demonstrates how much can be evoked even from seemingly resistant works like grammars and translations. Elegant and stylish as well as learned, it is a lovely exemplar of genuinely humanistic scholarship.' Emily Thornbury, Anglia'Dumitrescu's readings are meticulous and thought-provoking.' Hana Videen, The Times Literary Supplement'… modern education owes much to a period that fused antique conceptions of education with Christian ascetic practices, generating a complex amalgam of educational techniques and understandings that would, with modification, furnish the materials from which modern educational establishments and relationships were built. Irina Dumitrescu's study furthers our understanding of this inheritance by exploring the logic of an alien but nonetheless related educational order. As it does so, it draws attention to what has become the disavowed underbelly of modern educational practice, studying the role of suffering and discomfort in Anglo-Saxon scenes of instruction.' Ansgar Allen, British Journal of Educational Studies'This is a book that should be read and digested by all Anglo-Saxonists. It is a model of clarity and well-structured argumentation. It is deeply informed by the author's wide reading and skill in critical interpretation, and forms a highly significant contribution to the field.' Greg Waite, Parergon'Irina Dumitrescu has written a learned, eloquent, and seminal book that exposes widespread pedagogical metaphors in pre-Conquest writings … Treating education as an emotional struggle, Dumitrescu observes how compositions, translations, and adaptations telegraph intricate 'fictions of teaching' that evoke an author's didactic experience - not just his schooling … With sublime prose, persuasive evidence, and extraordinary originality, it obviously achieves the highest standard of academic excellence.' Scott Gwara, English Studies'… the volume … traces a remarkable and personal history of teaching and learning in Anglo-Saxon England … the topic is fully elaborated upon and justified by a successful close reading of a wide range of texts, endorsed by innumerable cross-references to other Old English and Latin works as well as to literary criticism.' Patrizia Lendinara, The Journal of English and Germanic Philology'… the readings in this volume are rich and persuasive, and Dumitrescu brings deserved attention to some underappreciated texts. Her writing is clear and sometimes lyrical, and even with its accounts of pain and frustration, The Experience of Education is a pleasure to read.' Nicole Guenther Discenza, Modern Philology'The Experience of Education is elegantly written and rigorously researched. Its new takes on much-studied texts will revitalize scholarly discussions … No doubt those studying these individual works, their respective genres, Old English and Latin literature, educational history, or monastic culture will have much to learn about learning from Dumitrescu's monograph.'

Book SynopsisThere have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society.Over our way lies a world of flame trees and hot beaches rimmed with hills, of raucous laughter in the market and shouts in the street, of bare feet running down dusty lanes and across burnt savannahs, splashing beside the boats of fishermen or inching up the ringed bark of coconut trees. A long way, full of laughing, weeping, blessing, cursing, explaining, quarrelling, accusing and lamenting.We cannot see the beginnings or ends of our way, but we can tell some of the stories of what happens over our way: stories which we alone can tell, stories about our friendships, our lonelinesses, our games, our crimes, our sorrows and joys, our triumphs and dreams.Suitable for readers aged 11 and above.

The inclusion of activities tailored to the course ensures that teachers can turn theoretical concepts and critical theory into engaging classroom experiences. I finished the book with plenty of notes and ideas to try out in my lessons that can potentially support my students in developing their writing and speaking skills for the assessments.Waller is also interested in fostering real-world skills in students, particularly in the final chapter. Teachers will find plenty of ideas and activities that not only enrich the curriculum but also prepare students for challenges beyond the classroom.Despite having taught English A for several years I am freshly inspired to try out new ways of delivering my lessons and I feel more confident about the conceptual elements of the course as well. An engaging 'must read' for all Language A teachers! -- Emily Monaghan, Teacher and Coordinator of English, International School of Bremen

Mara is a proud and beautiful slave girl who yearns for freedom in ancient Egypt, under the rule of Queen Hatshepsut. Mara is not like other slaves; she can read and write, as well as speak the language of Babylonian. So, to barter for her freedom, she finds herself playing the dangerous role of double spy for two arch enemies—each of whom supports a contender for the throne of Egypt. Against her will, Mara finds herself falling in love with one of her masters, the noble Sheftu, and she starts to believe in his plans of restoring Thutmose III to the throne. But just when Mara is ready to offer Sheftu her help and her heart, her duplicity is discovered, and a battle ensues in which both Mara’s life and the fate of Egypt are at stake.
