A History of Old English Literature Bewertungen

"Now the oldest English texts have a literary history for the twenty--first century. One of the chief virtues of A History of Old English Literature is the rich elaboration of contexts, extending from the manuscripts to the literary and intellectual world of Anglo--Saxon England, to the early modern criticism, and to the most recent critical reception."
