Abstract
ABSTRACT This article proposes a close reading of the punctuating point in the manuscript text of The Wanderer to explore its correspondences to the larger rhetorical patterns of Old English poetry, as identified by A. C. Bartlett, and the concept of the sensus, or ‘sense unit’, as analysed by M. B. Parkes. By engaging with the points at their location on the manuscript page in correspondence to rhetorical patterns, this research endeavours to bypass notions of syntax and modern punctuation predicated on analytic language to offer consideration of the punctuating point as a systematic guide to interpretation, encompassing both educative and hermeneutical purposes.
