Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Select Translations From Old English Prose Our thanks are due to those translators - all of them graduate students of English at Yale in the past or present - who have willingly collaborated with us. It became more and more evident, as we proceeded, that the older versions, such as those of Giles, are too inaccurate to be reproduced without modification; our only regret on this point is that new translations were not made in all such cases. We should be glad if this book might do something to extend and deepen the interest in the words and works of those who toiled, a millennium or more ago, that England and the world might live; and we could even wish that it might suggest a closer conformity to their simplicity, courage, and devotion to the things of the spirit.
