Bøger af Michael Swanton

A new and completely revised edition of this authoritative work, intended to encourage personal appreciation and independent appraisal by students of English.

Michael Swanton's translation of this work - the first continuous national history of any Western people in their own language - draws extensively on the latest evidence of paleographers, archaeologists and textual and social historians to place these annals in the context of current knowledge.

This edition contains explanatory notes, drawing on archaeological sources, which expand on the poet's more esoteric allusions and offer background information on manners and customs. A prose translation faces the text, which should be of use to both students and the general reader.
