This book examines the use of multiple writing systems and scripts’ role as a narrative feature. It evaluates the Old English context and mixed alphabet/rune Cynewulf poems. It oppugns the insularity of early English studies through contrasting assessment of the phenomenon in the radically distinct, living multiscript context of Modern Japanese.
