Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a groundbreaking study of the Old English epic fragment Judith, examining its metrics, language, and style to determine the date of its composition and the home of its author.

The examination of the text's language establishes dialectal characteristics, and the use of vocabulary and grammar is investigated to shed light on the author's background. Complexities of the diction, including synonyms, compounds, and sentence form, are explored, revealing the author's mastery of the language and artistry. Beyond its significance for our understanding of Judith, this book contributes to our broader knowledge of the development of Old English poetry and the era in which it was written.
