"A broad selection of Old English poetry in translations by R.M. Liuzza. The range and diversity of the works that have survived is extraordinary -- from heartbreaking sorrow to wide-eyed wonder, from the wisdom of old age to the hot blood of battle, and to the deepest and most poignant loneliness. There is breathless storytelling and ponderous cataloguing; there is fervent religious devotion and playful teasing. This collection offers significant portions of three of the important manuscripts of Old English poetry -- the Vercelli Book, the Junius Manuscript, and the Exeter Book. R.M. Liuzza is a professor of English at the University of Tennessee"--Provided by publisher.

Glosecki, Stephen O., 1952-
