Undergraduates frequently find the fine Old English poem "Judith"
the most stimulating of the surviving texts from the Anglo-Saxon
period. In the past thirty years, it has attracted a wide range of
literary criticism both in the UK and the US. Feminist critics of
English literature have been particularly interested by the ways in
which the poet has adapted the traditional masculine heroic ethos
of Old English poetry to a story figuring a violently active female
protagonist. Yet there is no available edition of Judith that is
either comprehensive or up to date, or which at all explains how
and why the poem is worthy of our attention. This new edition aims
to fill this gap. It includes a full Introduction and commentary by
the editor, plus a comprehensive glossary, bibliography and
appendices.
