• W2932832440 abstract "Old English metrics; he characterises Bliss’s analysis as “essentially the Sievers Types taken to an extreme level of descriptive complexity” (94, n. 1). Keddie’s essay forms a kind of dialogue with that of Russom, who offers a more complex analysis of resolution in Beowulf, and in particular consid­ ers the possibilities for resolution in positions of secondary stress (ruled out completely by Keddie). In Russom’s “word-foot theory” metrical features are essentially governed by the principles of stress in native words. The other contributions focus on various aspects of the poems’ language. Mark Griffith associates alliterative licence with the use of proper names in Maldon. Shaw demonstrates how the poet of Andreas translates “from the language of the book to the language of the voice” (176). Foley also studies the language in Andreas, commenting on the way in which the for­ mulas of the poetic register index the subject in the traditional world of Old English verse; he himself “indexes” in the register of modern theory some pretty conventional observations about Old English poetic technique. David Megginson usefully questions the assumption of a “general old En­ glish poetic dialect” based on orthography. Douglas Moffat examines the “Hat Pattern” of intonation (a rise in pitch in mid phrase) and its associa­ tion with rhyme in Layamon’s Brut. Shippey explores the modern urge to fill in the gaps in Hamdismdl, in which “the poem’s implicatures expand” (193). He applies Grice’s pragmatics, the principles of conversation, to the interpretation of the poem, whose essentially oral mode has, he argues, been misunderstood by centuries of readers from the Middle Ages on — an argu­ ment that, as he admits, is a bit over-ingenious. The collection closes with a light-heartedly erudite essay by Stanley, who analyses sample Riddles to show the “easy playfulness” of the Anglo-Saxon vernacular enigmatists, who “recall an heroic world to which they belong only bookishly” (205). All in all, the book forms a not unworthy tribute to a scholar who, as the Bibliography of her works attests (219-23), has made a distinguished contribution to the study of medieval literature and medieval poetics. a n n e l . k lin ck / University o f New Brunswick Donald Beecher, ed., The Dialogue of Solomon and Marcolphus; with the assistance of Mary Wallis. Publications of the Barnabe Riche Society 4 (Ottawa: Dovehouse Editions, 1995). 259. Illustrations. $28.00 cloth, $12.00 paper. The legend recording the battle of wits between Solomon and Marcolphus is evidently both ancient and pervasive. In the Anglo-Saxon corpus, two poems depict Solomon and Saturn in such a contest, and the longer of the two indicates that Solomon’s antagonist, a mysterious man from the East, 225 has journeyed through the land of Marcolphus, “marculfes eard” (1. 180), before arriving at Solomon’s court. Saturn is a surrogate for Marcolphus, a character pitted against Solomon far more frequently in these stories than Saturn, just as Marcolphus is a surrogate for the Queen of Sheba, who seeks out Solomon, in the biblical account given in 1 Kings, chapter 10, in order to test his renowned wisdom with hard questions (“tentare eum in aenigmatibus ” ). The battle of wits featuring Solomon and Marcolphus became one of the most popular literary motifs in the late Middle Ages: over sixty manuscripts survive in which the altercatio is presented in Latin, and the early printers, starting in 1473, made dialogues between the wise king and his adversary available both in Latin and in the various vernacular languages of Europe. The German tradition is especially strong, but versions exist as well in French, Danish, Polish, and Icelandic. E. Gordon Duff has traced some twenty-three incunabula in which the two square off. In this edition Beecher presents in facsimile the text of a book published in English in 1492 by the Antwerp printer, Gerard Leeu. Entitled This is the dyalogus or communyng betw[i]xt the wyse King Solomon and Marcolphus, the book is very rare. In fact, only one copy, now in the Bodleian, is known to exist. In 1892, E. Gordon Duff, an authority on early printers, published a photographic facsimile of this unique exemplar..." @default.
