Eight Old English Poems

Included are the texts of Caedmons Hymn, The Battle of Brunanburh, The Dream of the Rood, The Battle of Maldon, The Wanderer, The Seafarer, Deor, and, newly added in response to changes within the Old English curriculum, The Wifes Lament. Prepared by R. D. Fulk, the Third Edition introduces a number of important improvements to the books scope and coverage. The texts are based on manuscript authority and are sparingly emended, following the best scholarly editions.
