Eight Old English Poems 3e(英国古典诗歌八首第三版)

A thorough revision of John C. Pope's meticulously edited Seven Old English Poems, the Third Edition, retitled Eight Old English Poems, continues to meet the needs of both graduate and undergraduate students of Old English. Included here are the texts of Caedmon's 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 Wife's Lament. Prepared by R.D. Fulk, the Third Edition provides substantially revised Commentaries updated to reflect advances in textual and interpretive scholarship, a rewritten essay on versification incorporating contemporary metrical scholarship, and an updated bibliography. Where need, Professor Fulk has made minor corrections and emendations to the texts and notes, based on readings against facsimiles of the manuscripts or surviving transcripts.
