In her groundbreaking book-length study of Old English verse, Harriet Soper delves into the rich tapestry of poetic representations across the entire lifespan. Through meticulous analysis, she unveils how poets skillfully depicted diverse pathways through life, encompassing intricate entanglements between human existence and the realms of nonhuman or more-than-human entities. While Old English poetry occasionally hints at the existence of uniform patterns that shape individual lives, reminiscent of patristic traditions of the ages of man, it also disrupts a sense of steady linearity in striking ways. It highlights moments of sudden upheaval juxtaposed with smooth continuity, contingency prevailing over predictability, and idiosyncrasy overshadowing regularity. By advancing fresh interpretations of a diverse array of Old English poems, Soper draws upon a wealth of supporting contexts and theories to shed light on these intricate texts. Through her meticulous research, she uncovers the complex and captivating depictions of ageing that permeate these works, offering a profound exploration of the human experience across time.
