Résumé
Reviewed by: The Aesthetics of Nostalgia: Historical Representation in Old English Verse Helen Appleton Trilling, Renée R. , The Aesthetics of Nostalgia: Historical Representation in Old English Verse (Toronto Anglo-Saxon), Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 2009; cloth; pp. 352; R.R.P. CA$70.00; ISBN 9780802099716. The study of nostalgia in literary texts is currently very much in vogue and Renée Trilling's work represents a timely contribution to the discussion. In this well researched book, Trilling aims to explore the artistic impetus behind the representation of the past in Old English verse by assembling an aesthetic record and demonstrating the use of nostalgia as a tool in Anglo-Saxon historical texts. The book is wide ranging, both temporally and in terms of genre. Trilling discusses a large number of very disparate pieces of Anglo-Saxon verse and prose, both secular and religious, from Cædmon's Hymn to the Death of Edward. The introduction eloquently addresses the problem of defining nostalgia for a period which had not yet coined the term, and in which the longing is frequently presented not for a home but for an imagined time and space. The book has five main chapters and a summarizing conclusion. The first on art and history focuses on Deor and Widsith and in it Trilling advocates the application of Walter Benjamin's concept of 'the constellation' to Old English verse, an idea carried forward throughout the book. Chapter 2 explores biblical and salvation history and deals with the entirety of the Junius XI manuscript. The chapter is ambitious in its scope, but the very distinct nature of the poems makes reading them as a coherent unit challenging, and Trilling's argument does not resolve the problem. The final three chapters are devoted to verse and prose texts about events in the history of Anglo-Saxon England. Trilling's latter chapters are the most successful: her work is more persuasive when discussing those texts with an obviously historical concern, presenting an engaging argument for connecting the aesthetics of these verses with their historical content. It is pleasing to see the often overlooked late Old English verses found in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle receiving scholarly attention, and Trilling's work ought to draw further consideration. The book makes a useful contribution to the field: it is thought provoking, up-to-date and extensively referenced. However, there is a tendency to [End Page 281] indulge in sweeping statements, which, while evocative, are not supported and serve to obscure the substance of the author's argument. This book would therefore be best suited to advanced students and those who already have a good knowledge of the material discussed, for whom it will provide a stimulus to further debate and research.
