A Choice of Anglo-Saxon Verse contains the Old English texts of all
the major short poems, such as 'The Battle of Maldon', 'The Dream
of the Rood', 'The Wanderer' and 'The Seafarer', as well as a
generous representation of the many important fragments, riddles
and gnomic verses that survive from the seventh to the twelfth
centuries, with facing-page verse translations. These poems are the
well-spring of the English poetic tradition, and this anthology
provides a unique window into the mind and culture of the
Anglo-Saxons. The volume is an essential companion to Faber's
edition of Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney.
