Abstract
The article discusses two books, "Basilisks and Beowulf" by Tim Flight and "Winters in the World" by Eleanor Parker, which explore different aspects of the Anglo-Saxon period. Flight's book focuses on monsters and their significance in theology, natural philosophy, and the concept of boundaries. Parker's book examines the understanding of time and the seasons in Anglo-Saxon literature, highlighting the close connection between the people and the natural world. The article recommends reading both books together to gain a comprehensive understanding of the period. [Extracted from the article]
