Old English Verse

by Tom Shippey

Old English Verse (1972) covers the whole range of Old English poetry: the heroic poems, notably Beowulf and Malden; the 'elegies', such as The Wanderer and The Seafarer; the Bible stories and the lives of the saints which mark the end of pagan influence and the beginning of Christian inspiration; the Junius Manuscript; and finally King Alfred. All the many quotations are translated.
