Synopsis
This book is a comprehensive lexicon of the Anglo-Saxon language, specifically focusing on words used in Old English poetry. It aims to provide students with a valuable tool for understanding the rich vocabulary of this important period in English literature. The book acknowledges that a complete dictionary of the Anglo-Saxon period is impossible to create, as many prose works remain unpublished or incomplete. It therefore focuses on the words found in the poetry of this era, a genre considered particularly important for understanding the culture and customs of the time. The book offers several features designed to enhance its usefulness, including a grammatical appendix, cognates from other Germanic languages, and a list of irregular verbs. It also incorporates the use of antique type to trace modern English words back to their Anglo-Saxon roots. This lexicon will be of great interest to students and scholars of Old English, providing a valuable resource for understanding and appreciating the language and literature of this fascinating period in English history.
