Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Anglo-Saxon Versification: From the Standpoint of Modern-English Versification, Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In addition to these, there are a number of shorter poems, varying in length from a few lines to three or four hundred some of these shorter poems, however, have more poetic excellence than the longer ones. Anglo-saxon poetry covers a period of some three or four centuries - perhaps from the middle of the 7th century to the middle of the 11th. However, the dates of many of the earlier poems are conjectural, and can not be fixed with certainty. It is probable, indeed - inasmuch as the poems were handed down for a long time in the memory of men - that some of them, such as widsits, the Charms, the lays in Beowulf, etc., were composed at a much earlier date than the 7th century perhaps before the Teutons came over from the continent.

Download or read book Rewriting the Old Testament in Anglo Saxon Verse written by Samantha Zacher and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible played a crucial role in shaping Anglo-Saxon national and cultural identity. However, access to Biblical texts was necessarily limited to very few individuals in Medieval England. In this book, Samantha Zacher explores how the very earliest English Biblical poetry creatively adapted, commented on and spread Biblical narratives and traditions to the wider population. Systematically surveying the manuscripts of surviving poems, the book shows how these vernacular poets commemorated the Hebrews as God's 'chosen people' and claimed the inheritance of that status for Anglo-Saxon England. Drawing on contemporary translation theory, the book undertakes close readings of the poems Exodus, Daniel and Judith in order to examine their methods of adaptation for their particular theologico-political circumstances and the way they portray and problematize Judaeo-Christian religious identities.
Download or read book The Word Exchange Anglo Saxon Poems in Translation written by Greg Delanty and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dazzling variety of Anglo-Saxon poetry brought to life by an all-star cast of contemporary poets in an authoritative bilingual edition. Encompassing a wide range of voices-from weary sailors to forlorn wives, from heroic saints to drunken louts, from farmers hoping to improve their fields to sermonizers looking to save your soul—the 123 poems collected in The Word Exchange complement the portrait of medieval England that emerges from Beowulf, the most famous Anglo-Saxon poem of all. Offered here are tales of battle, travel, and adventure, but also songs of heartache and longing, pearls of lusty innuendo and clear-eyed stoicism, charms and spells for everyday use, and seven "hoards" of delightfully puzzling riddles. Featuring all-new translations by seventy-four of our most celebrated poets—including Seamus Heaney, Robert Pinsky, Billy Collins, Eavan Boland, Paul Muldoon, Robert Hass, Gary Soto, Jane Hirshfield, David Ferry, Molly Peacock, Yusef Komunyakaa, Richard Wilbur, and many others—The Word Exchange is a landmark work of translation, as fascinating and multivocal as the original literature it translates.

Download or read book Anglo Saxon Verse written by Graham Holderness and published by Northcote House Pub Limited. This book was released on 2000 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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
