Abstract
This essay focuses on some other questions that are forestalled by the repeated posing of the question of the ‘in-ness’ or otherwise of theory in our field, and considers also what can we do for ‘theory’ rather than what it can do for us. We raise further questions about the ethics of theory in past, present, and future contexts in Old English studies.
