Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anglo-Saxon Reader, (Both Poetry and Prose): For Beginners in Old English, Prepared With Grammar, Notes, Vocabulary, and Poetical Appendix
The new edition of the anglo-saxon Reader appears with a slightly changed title-page and an important addition the Poetical Appendix due to the demand for some poetical specimens of a literature whose most remarkable monuments are in verse. Dr. J. Lesslie Hall, the translator of Beowulf, has selected these extracts, which have notes and a vocabulary of their own and which will, the editors trust, increase the usefulness of the book.
