This anthology of Sumerian literature constitutes the most
comprehensive collection ever published, and includes examples of
most of the different types of composition written in the language,
from narrative myths and lyrical hymns to proverbs and love poetry.
The translations have benefited both from the work of many scholars
and from our ever-increasing understanding of Sumerian. In addition
to reflecting the advances made by modern scholarship, the
translations are written in clear, accessible English. An extensive
introduction discusses the literary qualities of the works, the
people who created and copied them in ancient Iraq, and how the
study of Sumerian literature has evolved over the last 150 years.
