“…As Lindy Brady puts it, 'More importantly than its precise location … a mearc connoted the space just beyond the utmost control of a society that marked the difference between "us" and "them".' 21 While the most famous mearc-derived place name in the British Isles is found in the so-called Marches that form the contested buffer zone between England and Wales, it is also easy to read the East Anglian fens as another mearc, not least because the Cambridgeshire market town of March derives its name from this term.…”

Wiley-Blackwell Critical Theory HandbooksEach volume in the Critical Theory Handbooks series features a collection of newly commissioned essays exploring the use of contemporary critical theory in the study of a given period, and the ways in which the period serves as a site for interrogating and reframing the practices of modern scholars and theorists. The volumes are organized around a set of key terms -such as race/ethnicity, law, gender, class, disability, body, nation, ideology, history, writing/literacy, belief, violence, aesthetics, time, material culture, visual culture, identity, and desire -that demonstrate the engagement by literary scholars with current critical trends, and aim to increase the visibility of theoretically oriented and informed work in literary studies, both within the discipline and to students and scholars in other areas.

Andreas is an Old English poem in the Vercelli Book manuscript that recounts the apocryphal legend of St. Andrew's adventure to rescue his fellow apostle Matthew from imprisonment in the cannibal land of Mermedonia, as well as Andrew's own conversion of the heathen Mermedonians to Christianity. The poem uses a heroic idiom similar to that of Beowulf , and has been compared to the works of the Old English poet known as Cynewulf. Andreas has been studied extensively from the perspectives of typological criticism, postcolonial criticism, theories of the body, and ecocriticism, among others.
