xiv, 495 pages, 48 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some color), maps (some color), music ; 27 cm. Summary:Tradition places the main action of this Old English poem at Lejre, Zealand (Denmark), and excavations there 1986-88 and 2004-05 have revealed a succession of great halls dated from the middle sixth to the late tenth centuries, and very similar to the one described in eight-century poem. Archaeologists, historians, and literary scholars consider the implications.
