This project proposes to examine how writers made use of the past to create narratives about the present and the futurein the face of renewed Viking conquest from the late tenth century to the return of the native dynasty in 1042. It willinquire into how crisis and existential threat shaped the omission, repetition, or alteration of information over time, insources including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, law-codes, and Encomium Emmae Reginae.The project will first surveyhistorical allusions and then explore specific references and beliefs central to the development of the period, includingdepictions of the settlement period, of the conversion, and of Viking attacks during Alfred's reign. Informed by culturalmemory studies, the aim would be to search for instances of resonance, emphasis, copying, and emulation, as well asevents which were avoided or elided. This research on the historical imaginary of people in late Anglo-Saxon writers hasthe potential to enhance scholarly understanding of why eleventh-century writers looked to the past during crisis, and towhat moments and meaning they drew from their history.

本研究旨在探讨从世纪末到1042年本土王朝的回归，面对新一轮的维京海盗征服，作家们如何利用过去来创作关于现在和未来的叙事。它将探讨危机和生存威胁如何随着时间的推移塑造信息的遗漏，重复或更改，包括盎格鲁-撒克逊编年史，法律法规和Encomium Emmae Reginae。该项目将首先调查历史典故，然后探索特定的参考和信仰对该时期的发展至关重要，包括定居时期，转换，以及阿尔弗雷德统治时期的维京海盗人袭击在文化记忆研究的指导下，目标是寻找共鸣、强调、复制和模仿的实例，以及被避免或省略的事件。对晚期盎格鲁-撒克逊作家中人物的历史想象的研究，有可能提高学术界对11世纪作家在危机中为什么回顾过去的理解，以及他们从历史中汲取了什么样的时刻和意义。
