Synopsis
Excerpt from Old English Poems: Translated Into the Original Meter, Together With Short Selections From Old English Prose
That the gallant people would give them soon A feast on the fated; now flew on their track The deadly devourer, the dewy-winged eagle, Singing his war song, the swart-coated bird, The horned of beak.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a captivating exploration of Old English poetry, a vibrant and influential literary tradition that flourished in England between the 5th and 11th centuries. The author delves into the rich tapestry of this early English literature, examining both its pagan and Christian roots. The book's insightful analysis reveals the distinctive features of Old English poetry, including its unique alliterative meter, its frequent use of parallelisms and kennings (poetic metaphors), and its characteristically somber outlook on life. These poetic elements are brought to life through expertly crafted translations of key works, including epic poems like *Widsith* and *Deor's Lament*, as well as shorter pieces like the *Charms*. Through these translations, the reader gains a deep understanding of the Anglo-Saxon world, its values, beliefs, and worldview. The book illuminates the ways in which early English poets captured the anxieties and hopes of their time, and their enduring legacy in shaping the language and literature of England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243321032_0
