"This book aims at providing a comprehensive survey of Old English literature by one of the best known and most widely experienced Anglo-Saxon scholars of our time. C.L. Wrenn has long been acclaimed internationally for his varied contributions to Anglo-Saxon studies, especially during the seventeen years of his tenure of the Rawlinson and Bosworth Professorship of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Oxford, and for his masterly edition of Beowulf. He brings to this new book not only mature and lively scholarship, but a rare ability to interest the beginner and general reader as well as the specialist. A Study of Old English Literature embraces all the writing done in England which can properly be called and in any exact sense be termed literature from the time of Caedmon to the Norman Conquest, not excluding the more important Latin works. It covers poetry that is heroic and epic, elegiac, religious, and gnomic, and prose that is didactic, expository, and historical. Some emphasis is placed on the fascinating features of Anglo-Saxon archaeology and on the continuity of Old English thought and culture. Indeed, this book may well prove to be the most outstanding achievement of a remarkable career." -Publisher.

This second edition incorporates extensive reference to scholarship that has evolved over the past decade, with new chapters on both Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and on incidental and marginal texts. There is expanded treatment throughout, including increased coverage of legal texts and scientific and scholastic texts.

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance of the Bible in the medieval world. For the Anglo-Saxons, literary culture emerged from sustained and intensive biblical study. Further, at least to judge from the Old English texts which survive, the Old Testament was the primary influence, both in terms of content and modes of interpretation. Though the Old Testament was only partially translated into Old English, recent studies have shown how completely interconnected Anglo-Latin and Old English literary traditions are. Old English Literature and the Old Testament considers the importance of the Old Testament from a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from comparative to intertextual and historical. Though the essays focus on individual works, authors, or trends, including the Interrogationes Sigewulfi, Genesis A, and Daniel, each ultimately speaks to the vernacular corpus as a whole, suggesting approaches and methodologies for further study.

Anglo-Saxon prose and poetry is, without question, the major literary achievement of the early Middle Ages (c. 700-1100). In no other vernacular language does such a vast store of verbal treasures exist for so extended a period of time. For twenty years the definitive guide to that literature has been Stanley B. Greenfield's 1965 Critical History of Old English Literature. Now this classic has been extensively revised and updated to make it more valuable than ever to both the student and scholar.

Reading Old English Texts, first published in 1997, focuses on the critical methods being used and developed for reading and analysing writings in Old English. The collection is timely, given the explosion of interest in the theory, method, and practice of critical reading. Each chapter engages with work on Old English texts from a particular methodological stance. The authors are all experts in the field, but are also concerned to explain their method and its application to a broad undergraduate and graduate readership. The chapters include a brief historical background to the approach; a definition of the field or method under consideration; a discussion of some exemplary criticism (with a balance of prose and verse passages); an illustration of the ways in which texts are read through this approach, and some suggestions for future work.
