Synopsis
Pollington has written and spoken widely on Anglo-Saxon language, literature, society, and culture. Here he describes feasting and society, the mead hall as living and ritual space, food and feasting equipment, positions of power, and entertainment. He includes a glossary with pronunciations, and sample depictions of feasting in Old English poems.
