This reader remains the only major new reader of Old English prose
and verse in the past forty years. The second edition is
extensively revised throughout, with the addition of a new
'Beginning Old English' section for newcomers to the Old English
language, along with a new extract from Beowulf. The fifty-seven
individual texts include established favourites such as The Battle
of Maldon and Wulfstan's Sermon of the Wolf, as well as others not
otherwise readily available, such as an extract from Apollonius of
Tyre. Modern English glosses for every prose-passage and poem are
provided on the same page as the text, along with extensive notes.
A succinct reference grammar is appended, along with guides to
pronunciation and to grammatical terminology. A comprehensive
glossary lists and analyses all the Old English words that occur in
the book. Headnotes to each of the six text sections, and to every
individual text, establish their literary and historical contexts,
and illustrate the rich cultural variety of Anglo-Saxon England.
This second edition is an accessible and scholarly introduction to
Old English.
