Pressestimmen
"This is much more than a select dictionary or encyclopedia. Frantzen explores and evaluates terms that are constantly used of Anglo-Saxon culture, in a way that first defamiliarizes what we might think they mean and then refamiliarizes us with their depth and importance. The alphabetical ordering is semantically random, but that makes this the most compellingly readable list I think I shall ever encounter."-- John Hines, Cardiff University
"A virtual cornucopia, including details on such mundanities as diet, hair styles, and the multitudinous terms for sexual intercourse, Frantzen's Anglo-Saxon Keywords is a celebration and validation of the rich cultural complexity of the Anglo-Saxons." "--Robert Bjork, Arizona State University
