The Anglo-Saxon World introduces the Anglo-Saxons in their own words -- their chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms, and above all their magnificent poems. Most of the greatest surviving poems are printed here in their entirety: the reader will find the whole of Beowulf, The Battle of Maldon, and the haunting elegiac poems. Here is a word picture of a people who came to these islands as pagans, subscribing to the Germanic heroic code, and yet within 200 years had become Christian to such effect that England was the centre of missionary endeavour and, for a time, the heart of European civilisation.Kevin Crossley-Holland places the poems and prose in context with his skillful interpretation of the Anglo-Saxon world; his translations have been widely acclaimed, and ofHardback reissue, with new introduction, of classic anthology of Anglo- Saxon poetry and prose. A new edition of this classic illustrated anthology of Anglo-Saxon poetry and prose. It introduces the Anglo-Saxons to us in their own words: their chronicles, laws and letters, charters and charms and, above all, their magnificent poems, Beowulf and The Battle of Maldon.
