Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Christ of Cynewulf, a Poem in Three Parts: The Advent, the Ascension, and the Last Judgment, Translated Into English Prose
This translation was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Albert S. Cook, and closely conforms in read ings and punctuation to his recent edition of the C/zrz'st. Through his kindness I have been furnished with the proof-sheets as needed, and have thereby found my labor materially lessened. Specific acknowledgments to this edition are usually made in the foot-notes, but many of the Biblical parallels come from the same source. Through out my work I have had the benefit of Professor Cook's ripe scholarship and sound judgment; for his unfailing kindness and helpfulness I wish to express my deep sense of gratitude. It also gives me pleasure to acknowledge my indebtedness to Mr. Robert K. Root, who has care fully read the whole of my manuscript; and to Dr. Charles G. Osgood and Dr. Frank H. Chase for various helpful suggestions.
