Cambridge Old English Reader
This 2004 book is a major reader of Old English the language spoken by the Anglo-Saxons before the Norman Conquest. Designed both for beginning and for more advanced students it broke new ground in two ways first in its range of texts and second in the degree of annotation it offers. The fifty-six prose and verse texts include the established favourites such as The Battle of Maldon and King Alfreds Preface to his Pastoral Care but also others which have not before been readily available such as a complete Easter homily Aelfrics life of Saint Aethelthryth and all forty-six Durham proverbs. Headnotes establish the literary and historical contexts for the works that are represented and reflect the rich cultural variety of Anglo-Saxon England. Modern English word glosses and explanatory notes
are provided on the same page as the text. Other features include a reference grammar and a comprehensive glossary.
