<p>“With a poet’s eye and a scholar’s touch, the acclaimed translator of Beowulf has given us a superb volume for both the common reader and the literature classroom. All the major Old English poetry is here, beautifully translated into living English verse, introduced and annotated by an expert Anglo-Saxon scholar. Liuzza’s anthology of highly accurate, scholarly, poetic translations captures the full expressive range of the oldest poetry in English: the mournful note of elegy, the profound beat of wisdom poetry, the ardent music of faith, and the high songs of heroic fame.” — Andrew Scheil, University of Minnesota</p><p>“The translations are beautiful—those of the elegies quite stunningly so. … Overall, this is a wonderful anthology.” — Andrew Scheil, University of Minnesota</p><p>“I’ve kept <em>Old English Poetry</em> with me through several moves over the last few years; it has proven to be an invaluable tool in my studies of medieval literature, as well as an endless source of enjoyment in my spare time. I first encountered it in college because it was the primary textbook of my Anglo-Saxon literature course. In that capacity, it exposed me to a wide range of Old English poetical styles and genres that I previously had not encountered. In fact, I am currently studying Old English in graduate school due, in part, to the influence of Broadview’s <em>Old English Poetry</em>!” —Nicholas Sumrall, The University of Mississippi</p>
