"Integrating linguistic and textual approaches into an anthropologically-inspired framework, this book reassesses the full range of evidence relating to elves. With a new degree of reliability, it traces continuities and changes in medieval non-Christian beliefs, from pre-conversion times to the eleventh century and beyond and uses comparative material from medieval Ireland and Scandinavia to argue for a dynamic relationship between beliefs and society."--BOOK JACKET. 000685327 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000685327 650_0 $$aElves. 000685327 650_0 $$aAnglo-Saxons$$xReligion. 000685327 650_0 $$aCivilization, Anglo-Saxon. 000685327 650_0 $$aCivilization, Medieval. 000685327 650_0 $$aPaganism$$zEngland. 000685327 650_0 $$aPaganism$$zEurope. 000685327 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHall, Alaric.$$tElves in Anglo-Saxon England.$$dWoodbridge, Suffolk, UK ; Rochester, NY : Boydell Press, c2007$$z9781843832942$$w(OCoLC)124509829 000685327 830_0 $$aAnglo-Saxon studies ;$$v8. 000685327 8520_ $$bacq 000685327 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000685327 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1025123$$zOnline Access 000685327 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:685327$$pGLOBAL_SET 000685327 980__ $$aEBOOK 000685327 980__ $$aBIB 000685327 982__ $$aEbook 000685327 983__ $$aOnline
