This book is designed especially for the literary student of
English, and provides a single compact grammar primarily concerned
with Classical Old English, rather than the other Old English
dialects. The book takes a descriptive approach and avoids assuming
a knowledge of Germanic philology. The introduction provides a
minimum background of knowledge and indicates the kinds of evidence
on which the grammatical description is based.

Once again available in paperback, Quirk and Wrenn's "Old
English Grammar" is a convenient reference tool to complement
readings in Old English. Appropriate for basic or advanced study of
Old English language and literature, this brief modern grammar
covers orthography, pronunciation, inflection, syntax, word
formation, and phonology. The authors provide a clear overview of
Late West Saxon, with notes that open up the complexities of the
language for those who wish to pursue them. The supplemental
bibliography added to this edition by Susan Deskis reflects the
most relevant recent contributions to the study of Old English.
