God's Exiles and English Verse: On The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry - Paperback

by John D. Niles (Author)

This is the first integrative, historically grounded book to be written about the Exeter Book of Old English poetry. By approaching the Exeter codex as a whole, the book seeks to establish a sound footing for the understanding of any and all of its parts, seen as devout yet cosmopolitan expressions of late Anglo-Saxon literary culture. 2 illus.
