Monsters abound in many contexts of Anglo-Saxon art. Moreover, these pervasive monstrous forms are a memorable convention in Anglo-Saxon art, setting this tradition apart from other Early Medieval cultures. Anglo-Saxon monsters are arresting and compelling. Writhing, biting, clawing, attacking, and screeching across the animated, lively surfaces of Anglo-Saxon artifacts, they are inherently visceral, corporeal, and multisensory, demanding attention from both medieval and modern viewers. The messages sent by these forms necessarily engage all the senses of viewers and rely on the blurring of the boundaries between representation and reality. The chapters laid out in this dissertation examine monsters as culturally rich imagery within differing contexts of Anglo-Saxon Art and consider the role of material and perception through the five senses of the body. Chapter One, on the Wonders of the East, explores how illuminator and scribe work cooperatively to provide multisensory profiles of each monstrous race through the use of brilliant color and the breaking of the frame as well as textual descriptions evoking sensory experience. In Chapter Two, on selected objects from the Staffordshire Hoard, metalsmiths forge and incise metal fittings for armor and swords with transformative, apotropaic monsters. In Chapter Three, Anglo-Saxon scribes navigate two conflicting conceptualizations of hell through the invention of the hellmouth. In each case study, the function and meaning of monsters are inseparable from the sensory cues inherent in their forms. A comprehensive study of monsters in Anglo-Saxon art has yet to be attempted. This dissertation examines types of monsters in differing contexts as visual manifestations of the body-mind-soul connection and the sensual psychology of the Anglo-Saxon world. Monsters provide a glimpse into the psychology of the Anglo-Saxon's conceptualization of the relationship between the physical body as a vehicle for experiencing the world around them and the invisible spiritual forces at play within the physical world. The dissertation concludes that monsters give form to unresolved elements of this dual role of the body as a means of experiencing the physical world and the dangers and benefits that experience presents, providing commentary on behaviors or characteristics that separate humans from beasts.
