Jonathan Davis-Secord demonstrates how compounds affect the pacing of passages in \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e, creating slow-motion narrative at moments of significant violence; how their structural complexity gives rhetorical emphasis to phrases in the homilies of Wulfstan; and how they help to mix quotidian and elevated diction in Cynewulf's \u003cem\u003eJuliana\u003c\/em\u003e and the Old English translations of Boethius. His work demonstrates that compound words were the epitome of Anglo-Saxon vernacular verbal art, combining grammar, style, and culture in a manner unlike any other feature of Old English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 13, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66044973777287,"sku":"9781442637399","price":144.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1025\/5558\/2813\/files\/ejNpzBoxhy9781442637399.webp?v=1790491894","url":"https:\/\/novellybooks.com\/products\/joinings-compound-words-in-old-english-literature-hardcover","provider":"Novelly Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
