Exodus is an exceptional Old English poem, written at a time when in the age of Bede Northern England held the intellectual leadership of Europe. It offers a vernacular gateway to the study of early medieval christian poetry. Focussing in dramatic fashion on the crossing of the Red Sea enabling the Israelites to escape captivity in Egypt the poem is stylistically outstanding, showing a use of metaphor and fusion of disparate concepts (such as abstract and concrete, literal and allegorical) unparalleled in Old English poetry. The exodus, the greatest of Old Testament events, is interpreted both within the historical perspective of other Old Testament events (the Deluge and the Offering of Isaac) and within the allegorical perspective of the exodus to the Promised Land seen as the christian's journey through life to the ultimate heavenly home.This book, now in its third edition, aims to make the poem more accessible, and better understood and appreciated than hitherto. A number of changes to the Introduction, Commentary and Glossary, as well as a new Select Bibliography, help to bring the apparatus up to date and draw attention to the many fine contributions to the poem made by other scholars. - Häftad, Engelska, 2020

Tillfälligt slut
The papers in this book cover an impressive range of research into all aspects of the study of Middle English Language and Texts, hence the title From Tongue to Text. The topics dealt with are arranged according to this spectrum of approach, beginning with spelling evidence (which may tell us something about sounds), and moving forward through phonology, sound symbolism, morphology, syntax, discourse analysis, and vocabulary, to the study of dialects, Middle English in contact with other languages, and to text explication. The authors come from all parts of Europe, north, south, east and west, and from Japan, and originally came together at the Third International Conference on Middle English at Dublin, Ireland, in July 1999, where they contributed with others to the theme of Language and Text.
