A Study of the Anglo-Saxon Poem, The Harrowing of Hell: Grein Hollenfahrt Christi (1885) is a scholarly work by James Hampton Kirkland. The book examines one of the most important surviving pieces of Anglo-Saxon literature, The Harrowing of Hell, which tells the story of Christ's descent into Hell to rescue the souls of the righteous who had died before his crucifixion. Kirkland's study provides a detailed analysis of the poem's language, structure, and historical context. He also explores the poem's themes, including the nature of sin and redemption, the power of Christ, and the role of the devil in Christian theology. The book is written in English, but includes extensive translations of the original Anglo-Saxon text, as well as comparisons with other medieval Christian literature. It is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Old English and medieval literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of Christianity and its cultural impact.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
