About this event
| In this talk we’ll take a journey through the cycle of the year as it was experienced in Anglo-Saxon England, exploring the festivals, customs and traditions linked to the different seasons. Many of the festivals we celebrate in Britain today have their roots in the Anglo-Saxon period, but ideas about the shape of the year have also changed significantly over time. Drawing on a wide variety of early medieval sources, we’ll look at how Anglo-Saxon writers thought about the passing of the seasons, and consider the profound relationship they saw between human life and the rhythms of nature. |
