Zusatztext '… the readings in this volume are rich and persuasive, and Dumitrescu brings deserved attention to some underappreciated texts. Her writing is clear and sometimes lyrical, and even with its accounts of pain and frustration, The Experience of Education is a pleasure to read.' Nicole Guenther Discenza, Modern Philology Informationen zum Autor Irina Dumitrescu is Junior Professor of English Medieval Studies at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn. She is the editor of Rumba Under Fire: The Arts of Survival from West Point to Delhi (2016). Her scholarship has been published in journals such as PMLA, Exemplaria, The Chaucer Review, Anglia, Postmedieval, Forum for Modern Language Studies, and in various international collections. Her literary essays have appeared in the Yale Review, Southwest Review, The Atlantic, and Longreads, and been reprinted in Best American Essays 2016. Zusammenfassung This engaging study explores how early medieval writers reflected on the nature of education and the acquisition of wisdom. By studying representations of teaching and learning in five early English texts, Irina Dumitrescu sheds light on the underappreciated emotional and cognitive complexities of Anglo-Saxon instruction.
