Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the poem Andreas, an Old English translation of the Greek legend of Saint Andrew. The significance of Andreas lies in its status as the only extant Old English poetic telling of a saint's life, as well as one of the few surviving examples of Old English poetry from the tenth century. The book provides a full linguistic and historical analysis of the poem's various aspects, including its authorship, poetic elaboration, and the legend of St. Andrew on which it is based. Of particular note is the book's discussion of the poem's possible Latin source, only fragments of which have survived. The author of this book provides a thorough and engaging analysis of this important work, uncovering the literary and historical depths of the poem and providing insight into this unique example of Old English literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
