A choice of Anglo-Saxon verse
R. F. S. Hamer (Compiler)
This volume contains the Old English texts of almost all the major short poems, such as 'The Battle of Maldon', 'The Dream of the Rood', 'The Wanderer' and 'The Seafarer'. These poems are the wellspring of the English poetic tradition, and this anthology provides a window into the mind and culture of the Anglo-Saxons
