Synopsis

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This study, in attempting to show the prevalence and significance of sententious verse throughout A nglo-S axon poetry, falls into two chief divisions. The introduction, tliough incidentally drawing illustrations from Noi th Germanic literature, deals mainly with gnomic lines ia A nglo-S axon epic, lyric, and didactic poetry, excuisive of the Exeter Ghiomes and the Cotton Gnomes. The second part consists of the texts of tliese collections, prepared from the manuscripts, with analysis and notes. One of the j)leasures arising from the labor of putting together this little volume is the acknowledgment of aid and friendly criticism. To the Reverend Canon Walter Edmonds, of Exeter Cathedral, I am grateful for access to the unique Exeter Manuscript. To the authorities of the British luseum, to the librarians of IL irvard University, and particularly to the librarians of Columbia University, I am indebted for unfailing courtesy and helpful cooperation. Professor Frederick Tupper, of the University of Vermont, has my hearty thanks for assistance in textual into pretation and for guidance of the work in the summer of 1012. To Professors G. P. Krapp, H. M. A yres, and A. F. J. Remy I am indebted for reading the manuscript and offering valuable suggestions. To Professor W. W. Lawrence, however, I owe most.
