From the riddling song of a bawdy onion that moves between kitchen and bedroom to the thrilling account of Beowulf's battle with a treasure-hoarding dragon, from the heart-rending lament of a lone castaway to the embodied speech of the cross upon which Christ was crucified, from the anxiety of Eve, who carries "a sumptuous secret in her hands / And a tempting truth hidden in her heart," to the trust of Noah who builds "a sea-floater, a wave-walking / Ocean-home with rooms for all creatures," the world of the Anglo-Saxon poets is a place of harshness, beauty, and wonder. Now for the first time, the entire Old English poetic corpus—including poems and fragments discovered only within the past fifty years—is rendered into modern strong-stress, alliterative verse in a masterful translation by Craig Williamson. Accompanied by an introduction by noted medievalist Tom Shippey on the literary scope and vision of these timeless poems and Williamson's own introductions to the individual works and his essay on translating Old English poetry, the texts transport us back to the medieval scriptorium or ancient mead-hall, to share a herdsman's recounting of the story of the world's creation or a people's sorrow at the death of a beloved king, to be present at the clash of battle or to puzzle over the sacred and profane answers to riddles posed over a thousand years ago. This is poetry as stunning in its vitality as it is true to its sources. Were Williamson's idiom not so modern, we might think that the Anglo-Saxon poets had taken up the lyre again and begun to sing once more.

This volume of previously unpublished essays on Anglo-Saxon poetry has been created in honor of John C. McGalliard on the occasion of his retirement from the University of Iowa after a distinguished career as a scholar-teacher of medieval literatures. As a critical anthology designed to respond to all of the major and most of the minor poems in the Anglo-Saxon canon, this collection will prove valuable to every class in Anglo-Saxon, whether introductory or advanced. The twenty-five essays take up individual problems concerned with the interpretation of specific poems. In offering their solutions to these problems the contributors evince their great love of poetry and their impressive knowledge of Anglo-Saxon scholarship. The contributors, who include Robert P. Greed, Charles Donahue, Norman E. Eliason, John Gardner, Margaret Goldsmith, Stanley Greenfield, Alvin A. Lee, Burton Raffle, Fred C. Robinson, Alain Renoir, and Robert Stevick, are prominent among the world-wide community of Anglo-Saxonists, and represent the entire range of critical approaches to Old English Literature. Their lively willingness to accept specific titular assignments is a tribute to the man who inspired this project. Among them are practicing poets, novelists, and translators - a reflection of the genuine humanism and erudition of Professor McGalliard. It is the editors' hope that the ongoing usefulness of this book whose attractive critical unity springs from the self-limited nature of the Anglo-Saxon poetic corpus, will constitute an added honorific dimension. The editors are both former students of John C. McGalliard. Lewis E, Nicholson is Associate Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame. He has published essays on Anglo-Saxon poetry and is editor of An Anthology of Beowulf Criticism. Delores Warwick Frese is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame. In addition to scholarly articles she has published two novels as well as poems and short stories.

Anglo-saxon poetry was circulated orally in a preliterate society, and gathered at last into books over some six centuries before the Norman Conquest ended English independence. Against the odds some of these books survive today. This anthology of prose translations covers most of the surviving poetry, revealing a tradition which is outstanding among early medieval literatures for its sophisticated exploration of the human condition in a mutable, finite, but wonderfully diverse and meaning-filled world.

Almost everything of interest in Anglo-Saxon history is recorded in the poetry of the period: the historical and political, moral and ethical, theological and ecclesiastical, military and constitutional motives and preoccupations of that past culture are there to be read at the level of individual perception and personal experience. In this study Graham Holderness brings these Old English texts and the culture they embody within the reach of the general reader by providing powerful new translations of heroic, elegiac, religious and love verses, translations which span the corpus from Beowulf to The Wife's Lament and bridge the gap between the unfamiliar language of their original composition and the modern English in which they are subsequently discussed and lucidly explained. As a general introduction to the subject this book opens up the language, literature and life of Anglo-Saxon England to the non-specialist, ending with a line by line, sample translation and detailed annotation as an impetus t
