Riddlehoard,

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Riddlehoard is a collection of literary riddles inspired by the Old English Riddles of the Exeter Book. Riddlehoard describes objects that fall into three categories: objects accessible to the Anglo-Saxons, often because they pertain to the natural world; technological items largely unique to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries; and objects that self-consciously reflect on the act of riddling. Riddlehoard explores metaphor as interactive, mysterious, and playful and suggests an underlying absurdity to subjective human experience.
