Book Description: Dent, London, 1987. Paperback. Book Condition: Near Fine. Reprint. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. brown titles spine; an everyman classic first published in 1982; "Anglo-Saxon poetry is esteemed for its subtle artistry and for its wealth of insights into the artistic, social and spiritual preoccupations of the formative first centuries of English literature. This anthology of prose translations covers most of the poetry surviving in the four major codices and in various other manuscripts. A well-received feature Is the grouping by codex to emphasize the great Importance of manuscript context in interpreting the poems. The full contents of the Exeter Book are represented, summarized where not translated, to facilitate appreciation of a complete Anglo-Saxon book. The introduction discusses the nature of the legacy, the poet's role, chronology, and approaches to interpretation and evaluation. Each poem is prefaced by an exploration of possible sources, cultural context, themes and their treatment, and especially of the way the poem may work upon an audience. The translations attempt a style acceptable to the modern ear yet close enough to aid parallel study of the Old English text. A check-list of extant Anglo-Saxon poetry enhances the practical usefulness of the volume. The whole thus adds up to a substantial and now widely-cited survey of the Anglo-Saxon poetic achievement."; contents list followed by preface & 23-page introduction with abbreviations & bibliography & then 549 pages of poems with a check-list of old english poetry at the end.
