Book Reviews of The Anglo-Saxon World: An Anthology (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: MULTIFACETED picture of a whole epoch of British heritage
Summary: 4 Stars
This is arguably the best-presented collection of Anglo-Saxon prose and poetry in a single book, expertly and masterfully translated by the author. Includes Beowulf, The Seafarer, The Wanderer, The Battle of Maldon, Bede, Caedmon..with lively commentaries, making Anglo-Saxon culture easily accessible to the reader. This is a cherry-picking of the top items of the literature. For those purists and language-lovers like me, it lacks the side-by-side Anglo-Saxon versions of the texts.
Perhaps there will be another Vol 2 which provides this?
