About the Author Martin K. Foys is associate professor of English at Hood College and author of The Digital Edition of the Bayeux Tapestry, a Choice Outstanding Academic Title and recipient of the International Society of AngloSaxonists prize for Best Edition. Product Description Foys argues that early medieval culture did not favor the representational practices privileged by the modern age and that five hundred years of print culture have in effectshut off modern readers from interpretations of text and image that would have been transparent to a medieval audience. Examining print and postprint ways of reading medieval literature and art, he derives alternative models of understanding from the realm of digital media, considering preprint expression through a range of postprint ideas and producing new and vital understandings of visionary Old English poetry, AngloSaxon maps of the world, 11thcentury Benedictine devotional writings, medieval mathematical systems, stone sculpture of Viking settlers, and the famous Bayeux Tapestry.Building chapter upon chapter into a sustained discussion of New Media theory and medieval interpretation, Foys provides a fielddefining investigation of how digital technology and expression can refine and revitalize early medieval studies. Review 'It's not often that a scholar writes a book that puts her or his literary period on the map of literary studies . . . Particularly valuable because it tells us an immense amount about key texts and materials of AngloSaxon culture but because it also fills in a history entirely missing from recent work in New Media.' Richard Burt
