| Summary: | This book examines the depiction of the non-human world in the Exeter Book Riddle Collection, investigating humanity's action with, and attitudes towards, the rest of creation using the fields of eco-criticism and eco-theology. While much scholarly attention has been given to what the riddles have to say abuot human society and culture, about heroism, service, sex and war, little has been said about the natural world. The author argues that there is a programme of resistance to anthropocentrism at work in the riddles, whereby the riddles challenge human-centred ways of depicting and interpreting the created world: depictions of the marginalised perspectives of sentient and non-sentient beings such as trees and animals are not just a characteristic of the riddle genre, but are actively used to explore the point of view of the natural world and the impact humanity has on its non-human inhabitants. She also draws on eco-theology to deepen our understanding of the depiction of the natural world in the riddles, via the main themes of place, labour, creation, transformation, accountability, mastery and wisdom.0 |

Humanity is ¿a dominant presence in the Bxeter Book riddle collection,
it is frequently shown using, shaping and binding the physical w orld in
which it lives. The riddles depict master and crattsman and use the
hi miliar human world as a point of orientation within a vast,
overwhelming cosmos. But the ru Idles ¿il so oiler an ecocentric
V--
perspective, one that considers the natural origins ol man-metde
products and the personal plight ol useful human resources.
1 his study otters fresh insights into the collection, investigating
humanity $ interaction w ith, ¿and ¿attitudes towards, the rest oi the
created world. Drawing on the principles of eco-cruicism and eco-
rheolo 4 the studv considers the cultural and biblical influences on the
depiction of nature m the collection, arguing that the texts engiage w irh
post-lapsaruan issues oi exploitation, suffering and mastery. I epictions
of marginalised perspectives of sentient ¿and non-sentient beings, such
¿as trees, ore and oxen, ¿are not just characteristic of the riddle genre,
but ¿are actively used to explore the point of view of the nit rural world
¿am 1 the impact humamrv has on its non-human inhabitants. 1 he ¿author
not only explores the riddles resisttinre to anthropocentrism, but
challenges our own tendency to read these enigmas from a human
centred perspecm c.
