Описание:

From the riddling song of a bawdy onion that moves between kitchen and bedroom to the thrilling account of Beowulfs battle with a treasure-hoarding dragon, from the heart-rending lament of a lone castaway to the embodied speech of the cross upon which Christ was crucified, from the anxiety of Eve, who carries a sumptuous secret in her hands / And a tempting truth hidden in her heart, to the trust of Noah who builds a sea-floater, a wave-walking / Ocean-home with rooms for all creatures, the world of the Anglo-Saxon poets is a place of harshness, beauty, and wonder.
Now for the first time, the entire Old English poetic corpus—including poems and fragments discovered only within the past fifty years—is rendered into modern strong-stress, alliterative verse in a masterful translation by Craig Williamson.
Accompanied by an introduction by noted medievalist Tom Shippey on the literary scope and vision of these timeless poems and Williamsons own introductions to the individual works and his essay on translating Old English poetry, the texts transport us back to the medieval scriptorium or ancient mead-hall, to share a herdsmans recounting of the story of the worlds creation or a peoples sorrow at the death of a beloved king, to be present at the clash of battle or to puzzle over the sacred and profane answers to riddles posed over a thousand years ago. This is poetry as stunning in its vitality as it is true to its sources. Were Williamsons idiom not so modern, we might think that the Anglo-Saxon poets had taken up the lyre again and begun to sing once more.
