Verse and Virtuosity

The Adaptation of Latin Rhetoric in Old English Poetry

By: Janie Steen

While there is little evidence of formal rhetorical instruction in Anglo-Saxon England, traditional Old English poetry clearly shows the influence of Latin rhetoric. Verse and Virtuosity demonstrates how Old English poets imitated and adapted the methods of Latin literature, and, in particular, the works of the Christian Latin authors they had studied at school. It is the first full-length study to look specifically at what Old English poets working in a Latinate milieu attempted to do with the schemes and figures they found in their sources. Janie Steen argues that, far from sterile imitation, the inventiveness of Old English poets coupled with the constraints of vernacular verse produced a vital and markedly different kind of poetry. Highlighting a selection of Old English poetic translations of Latin texts, she considers how the translators responded to the challenge of adaptation, and shows how the most accomplished, such as Cynewulf, absorb Latin rhetoric into their own style and blend the two traditions into verse of great virtuosity. With its wide-ranging discussion of texts and rhetorical figures, this book can serve as an introduction to Old English poetic composition and style. Verse and Virtuosity, will be of considerable interest to Anglo-Saxonists, linguists, and those studying rhetorical traditions.

This is an invaluable list of about 11,000 Revolutionary War claimants who filed in South Carolina between 1783 and 1786, alphabetically arranged in a single index, with multiple references to the returns showing the page number of the entry book. Since the Index was kept by the Auditor General of South Carolina, this book constitutes an authoritative source for Revolutionary War claims. Also included in the work is a section on officers in the hospital and men of the Frigate South Carolina to whom certificates had been awarded.

By: Janie Van Komen

What if you discovered everything you believed about your family was a lie? Gracie Richards is about to find out. After losing her business, love life, and the connection she had with her father she finds an old Dutch Speculaas Cookie Tin in the attic.

Gracie is offered a job in the Netherlands where her present life and the past including a hint of romance begin to tumble over one another in a jumble of confusion and revelation surprising even her father who thought he knew everything. Janie Van Komen, author of The Opa Legacy, married a Dutch immigrant and has gathered the stories of the family's history and survival in Nazi occupied Holland, during World War II for twenty years. She and her husband lived in the Netherlands for two years during which time she used her love of research to gain an appreciation for the locations, and stories of the people who survived.
