Abigail Hartman's Reviews > Winters in the World: A Journey through the Anglo-Saxon Year

Lovely, accessible reflections on the experience of the seasons and the months in Anglo-Saxon England through the lens of its poetry and literature. Parker shows real empathy for her material, especially the rhythms of the liturgical year; she doesn’t patronize or distort or bungle it. I also enjoyed the way the book is formatted: it’s very readable, but without dumbing things down, and the notes, further reading, and bibliography are all thoughtfully selected and presented. It’s just a really nice little book.
