Sasha’s Reviews > The Word Exchange: Anglo-Saxon Poems in Translation > Status Update

There are a few real gems in here which are a perfect complement to a reading of Beowulf. The riddles and the maxims are especially interesting as cultural footnotes for some of the questions which arise encountering the mix of mythic and early Christian elements to the epic poem. Recommended: The Dream of the Rood, The Wanderer, the Seafarer, The Wife's Lament, Deor, among others.
