Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old English Idyls The kind reception given my translation of Beowulf by both philological and literary journals, by philologists and littérateurs, has encouraged me to further work in the same field. This time, however, I have indulged my own imagination, with some help from myth and history; and I shall hope for a larger audience than before. In the following pages I have tried to give a panoramic view of the Teutonic conquest of England and of the heroic period of Old English, or Anglo-Saxon, history. I have, as it were, assumed the role of an English gleeman of about A.D. 1000, and have sought to reproduce to some extent the spirit, the metre, and the leading characteristics of Old English verse. As to details and technique, I have changed my mind somewhat since I published the translation of Beowulf. I have concluded that a reader who can enjoy alliteration on two lines out of three will willingly go farther.
