Scholars in recent decades have critiqued the notion of Old English as a poetry of iron: evoking a hypermasculine, primitive past, the metaphor is emblematic of outdated practices in the field. This article builds upon these critiques, while showing that they oversimplify the metaphor’s function in disciplinary history. Part I traces desires and unknowns in the nineteenth century that made iron embody Saxon poetry’s primitive artlessness. From these struggles, Part II turns to draw forth a counter-narrative, in which Bosworth’s metaphor of the hammering smith served to clarify difficulties of metrical knowledge c.1825. Part III then situates a later extension of iron imagery in the potentialities of late nineteenth-century iron architecture. Examining the challenges that early scholars faced helps us better perceive the literary, linguistic, and political ramifications of their solutions. Spotlighting the metaphor’s changing relationship to beauty versus utility also points forward, as we imagine new metaphors that might once more be productive for conceptualising poetic structure.

近几十年来，学者们对古英语是铁之诗这一概念进行了批判：这一隐喻唤起了一个超男性的原始过去，是该领域过时做法的象征。本文以这些批判为基础，同时指出它们过度简化了隐喻在学科史中的功能。第一部分追溯了十九世纪的欲望和未知，这些欲望和未知使得铁体现了撒克逊诗歌的原始无艺术性。从这些斗争出发，第二部分引出了一个反叙述，即博斯沃思关于铁锤铁匠的隐喻有助于澄清 1825 年前后格律知识的难题。然后，第三部分将铁的意象后来延伸到十九世纪晚期铁建筑的潜力中。研究早期学者面临的挑战有助于我们更好地理解他们的解决方案在文学、语言和政治方面的影响。在我们想象新的隐喻可能再次对诗歌结构的概念化产生影响时，聚焦隐喻在美与实用之间不断变化的关系也指向了未来。

‘Exeter Riddle 4’ and Two Other Bell Riddles 埃克塞特谜语 4 "和其他两个钟声谜语

In early medieval England, the ringing of bells served a wide range of functions. This article argues that a detailed understanding of bells and their everyday use can help to explain the intricate narratives and elaborate language of three Latin and Old English riddles. The first, the late antique ‘Riddle 80’ by Symphosius, describes a dinner bell and the idle chatter of a drunken party. The second, Tatwine of Canterbury’s ‘Riddle 7’, presents a funeral bell hanging in a tower as a deposed emperor who is hung and beaten. The third, the well-known ‘Exeter Riddle 4’, presents an everyday monastic bell as if it were an obedient monk, and it casts their relationship as interdependent and symbiotic. The bell solution has been heavily disputed. However, when the riddle is read alongside the rich context of monastic culture, and with careful attention to linguistic detail, this solution is confirmed.

在中世纪早期的英格兰，钟声具有广泛的功能。本文认为，对钟声及其日常使用的详细了解有助于解释三个拉丁语和古英语谜语中错综复杂的叙述和精致的语言。第一个谜语是古代晚期的 "谜语 80"，作者 Symphosius，描述的是晚餐铃声和醉酒聚会的闲聊。第二个谜语是坎特伯雷的塔特温的 "谜语 7"，将悬挂在塔楼上的丧钟说成是被吊打的废帝。第三个谜语是著名的 "埃克塞特之谜 4"，它把寺院里的日常用钟说成是听话的僧侣，并把它们之间的关系描绘成相互依存和共生的关系。钟的谜底备受争议。然而，如果将谜语与丰富的修道院文化背景结合起来阅读，并仔细关注语言细节，谜底就会得到证实。
