This project aims to investigate the interplay between early medieval science and the literary imagination. The project focuses on Anglo-Saxon England, which provides a fully developed and well-preserved vernacular literary record, beside a learned Latin literary culture. It aims to investigate an important reciprocal relationship at a transitional moment in Western culture: the ways scientific learning influenced the early medieval literary imagination, and how the literary imagination influenced early medieval science. Study of the relationship between science and literature provides an insight into how people have understood the world around them and their relationship with it, interpreted in the light of inherited knowledge and the imagination.

该项目旨在研究中世纪早期科学与文学想象力之间的相互作用。该项目的重点是盎格鲁-撒克逊英格兰，除了博学的拉丁文学文化之外，它还提供了充分发展且保存完好的白话文学记录。它旨在研究西方文化转型时刻的重要相互关系：科学学习如何影响中世纪早期文学想象力，以及文学想象力如何影响中世纪早期科学。对科学与文学之间关系的研究可以深入了解人们如何理解周围的世界以及他们与世界的关系，并根据继承的知识和想象力进行解释。
