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 "The translations are beautiful--those of the elegies quite stunningly so. ... Overall, this is a wonderful anthology." -- Andrew Scheil, University of Minnesota
R.M. Liuzza, a Professor in the English Department at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is one of the general editors of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature.
