This paper analyses, from the standpoint of the literary pragmatics, and more specifically from linguistic politeness theory, two Old English texts: the heroic poem The Battle of Maldon and Aelfric's prose narrative of King Edmund's life. The aim is double: first, to show that this type of linguistic analysis is adequate for the study of texts from other historical periods, since the pragmatical focus on the text opens up a new interpretive and evaluative dimension. Second, to validate the applicability of politeness theory as an analytical framework in texts and contexts where it has not been commonly applied.
