Old Testament Narratives
ISBN: 9780674053199 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The Old English poems in this volume are among the first retellings of scriptural texts in a European vernacular. More than simple translations, they recast the familiar plots in daringly imaginative ways, from Satan's seductive pride (anticipating Milton), to a sympathetic yet tragic Eve, to Moses as a headstrong Germanic warrior-king, to the lyrical nature poetry in Azarias. Whether or not the legendary Caedmon authored any of the poems in this volume, they represent traditional verse in all its vigor. Three of them survive as sequential epics in a manuscript in the Bodleian... The Old English poems in this volume are among the first retellings of scriptural texts in a European vernacular.

The Old English Dialogues of Solomon and Saturn
ISBN: 9781843842033 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The dialogues of Solomon and Saturn, found in MSS Corpus Christi College Cambridge 422 and 41, are some of the most complex Old English texts to survive. The first two dialogues, in verse and prose, present the pagan god Saturn in human form interrogating King Solomon about the mysterious powers of the Pater Noster, while in a second poem the two discuss in enigmatic terms a range of topics, from the power of books to the limits of free will. This new edition - the first to appear for some 150 years - presents a parallel text and translation, accompanied by notes and commentary. The volume...

Water and fire: The myth of the flood in Anglo-Saxon England
ISBN: 9780719063992 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Noah's Flood is one of the Bible's most popular stories, and flood myths survive in many cultures today. This book presents the first comprehensive examination of the incorporation of the Flood myth into the Anglo-Saxon imagination. Focusing on literary representations, it contributes to our understanding of how Christian Anglo-Saxons perceived their place in the cosmos. For them, history unfolded between the primeval Deluge and a future - perhaps imminent - flood of fire, which would destroy the world. This study reveals both an imaginative diversity and shared interpretations of the Flood...

Alfred the Great
ISBN: 9781942401285 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 115 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alfred the Great is a rare historical figure from the early Middle Ages, in that he retains a popular image. Because this image increasingly suffers from the "dead white male syndrome," exacerbated by Alfred's association with British imperialism and colonialism, this book provides an accessible reassessment of the famous ruler of Wessex, informed by current scholarship, both on the king as a man in history, and the king as a subsequent legendary construct. Alfred the Great (ca. 849 - 899), king of Wessex, lived in a time of intense and violent national crisis. His was the only English...
