| Creation, Migration, and Conquest: Imaginary Geography and Sense of Space in Old English Literature. By Fabienne L. Michelet. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006. Pp. xii + 297; 9 illustrations. $99. This volume studies representations of space in Anglo-Saxon poetry, historical and geographical writings, and the Cotton mappa mundi (London, british Library, Cotton tiberius b.v. I, fol. 56v). Focusing on three tropes—creation, migration, and conquest—Michelet argues persuasively that the control of space is a central theme in Old English literature.
