Rebel Angels: Space and Sovereignty in Anglo-Saxon England

by Jill Fitzgerald

Book Overview

This book examines the 'fall of the angels' tradition in early medieval sermons, saints' lives, legal documents and Old English biblical poetry. It argues that Anglo-Saxon authors adapted apocryphal and patristic accounts in ways that allowed them to express their ideas concerning ecclesiastical and secular power.
