First published in 1915, this book presents a selection of poems written by 'the Old Teutonic Peoples'. The text is divided into two main sections containing 'Runic Poems' and 'Heroic Poems'. The majority of the poems are of Anglo-Saxon derivation, but there are also Norwegian, Icelandic and Old High German inclusions. All poems are given in the original language with a facing-page English translation. Detailed notes and bibliographies are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Anglo-Saxon and related poetry.

Originally published in 1950, this book was produced as a memorial for the leading Cambridge historian and literary scholar Hector Munro Chadwick (1870-1947). Written by former pupils of Chadwick at Cambridge University, the text contains numerous contributions on various aspects of early culture in Northwestern Europe. The contributions discuss Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic history, together with archaeological discoveries. Illustrative figures are also included throughout. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Chadwick and the history of Northwestern Europe.
