Description: "A thorough revision of John C. Pope's meticulously edited Seven Old English Poems, this 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 responses 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 needed, Professor Fulk has made minor corrections and emendations to the texts and notes, based on readings against facsimiles of the manuscripts or surviving transcripts."--BOOK JACKET.
