I always prefer translated works that have the page facing in the original language. But otherwise, a great collection that really represents the incredible diversity of the Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition. ( )no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0460870866, Paperback)This anthology of translations covers most of the poetry surviving in the four major codices and in various other manuscripts. Here, Germanic poetic style and English lore combine with the religious philosophy, learning and imagery of Mediterranean Christianity to produce a vernacular literature outstanding in the early Middle Ages for its sophisticated exploration of the human condition.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:56 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
