Review Quotes:
"As a contribution to the study of the Latin textual culture of earlier medieval England - and especially in emphasizing Latin's own diversity as it interacts sensitively with time, place, and situation rather than viewing it as a monolithic member of a simple intellectual hierarchy - Rebecca Stephenson and Emily V. Thornbury's Latinity and Identity in Anglo-Saxon Literature has great value, with each chapter offering insights and several producing real innovations of method or perspective."
--Britt Mize, Texas A&M University, Speculum"While many of these essays have interesting things to say about identity formation, the collection has much to offer beyond that topic to anyone interested in the formal analysis of imitation in Latin."
--Carin Ruff, Independent Scholar, Early Medieval Europe
