Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Elene; Judith; Athelstan, or the Fight at Brunanburh; And Byrhtnoth, or the Fight at Maldon: Anglo-Saxon Poems This translation of the Elene was made while reading the poem with a post-graduate student in the session of 1887-88, Zupitza´s second edition being used for the text, which does not differ materially from that in his third edition (1888). It was completed before I received a copy of Dr. Weymouth´s translation (1888), from Zupitza´s text; but in the revision for publication I have referred to it, although I cannot always agree with the learned scholar in his interpretation of certain passages. Grein´s text was, however, used to fill lacunoe, and in the revision the recently published (1888) Grein-Wülker text was compared in some passages. The line-for-line form has been employed, as in my translation of Beowulf; for it has been approved by high authority, and is unquestionably more serviceable to the student, even if I have not been able to attain ideal correctness of rhythm. I plead guilty in advance to any lapsus in that respect, but I strongly suspect that I have appreciated the difficulty more highly than my future critics. The Elene is more suitable than the Beowulf for first reading in Old English poetry on account of its style and its subject, which make the interpretation considerably easier, and I concur with Korting, in his Grundriss der Geschichte der Englischen Litteratur (p. 47, 1887): "Die Elene eignet sich sowohl wegen ihres anmutigen Inhaltes, als auch, weil sie in der trefflichen Ausgabe von Zupitza leicht zuganglich ist, als erste poetische Lecture fur Anfanger im Angelsachsischen."
