More Than Words on a Page: A New Visual Representation of Old English Poetry Based on Manuscript Formatting and Historical Performance

Bachelor thesis | Engelse taal en cultuur (BA)
This thesis argues that commonplace formatting of Old English poetry does not adequately represent the historical reality of this poetry. A new "artistic" formatting is proposed that expressely attempts to represent a historically accurate oral performance of (in this case) "The Wanderer".
