The Interpretation of Old English Poems (1972) is a challenging
approach in the critical appreciation of Old English poems.
Professor Greenfield argues in particular against two inhibiting
orientations in criticism of Anglo-Saxon poetry: an insensitive and
too-narrowly defined historicism, and a blinkered philological
tradition. He suggests ways in which the practical criticism of Old
English poetry and poems can be conducted, and provides the means
for a student to form his own critical approach. The book is
particularly challenging in that it brings literary criticism into
a field which has hitherto belonged largely to historians and
linguists.
