[SC: 35.64], [PU: New Brunswick [N.J.]: Rutgers University Press, 1990], Frantzen, Allen J. Desire for origins: new language, old English, and teaching the tradition. New Brunswick [N.J.]: Rutgers University Press, 1990, xviii, 260pp., PAPERBACK, very good, appears unused. Desire for Origins is the first book to make use of contemporary critical theories to review the tradition of Anglo-Saxon studies and the field’s near demise. Evaluating Anglo-Saxon studies in the context of higher education in the United States today, Allen J. Frantzen relates the study of Old English language and literature to debates about literacy and the place of Western culture in the curriculum. His book is addressed to medievalists, classicists, and others whose intellectual interest in ancient civilization has been marginalized by previously marginalized subjects and by what might be termed stubborn self-marginalization. He sketches the roots of the search for origins in Anglo-Saxon studies, emphasizing the relationship between Anglo-Saxon scholarship and important cultural movements,.including Elizabethan nationalism and nineteenth-century British Orientalism. 9780813515915 ISBN 0813515912<
