It thus seeks to move beyond recent literacy-orality debates, suggesting that it is more profitable to investigate the attitudes shown towards legal norms (both written and oral) within Anglo- Saxon society. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Case Study src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2020 Institute of Historical Research. item: Historical Research holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2013 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
