Alexandra H. Raffel’s translations of all the Old English poems become poems in modern English. Raffel’s poetic translations have long been regarded as excellent poems in their own right. The prose translations in this volume include a generous sampling of historical, legal, religious, and instructional pieces, with works by Alfred, Aelfric, Wulfstan, and Bede. They are lucid and graceful examples of modern English prose. This is a splendid work to introduce students to the culture of the Anglo-Saxons.
