The Four Old English Poetic Manuscripts

by Gunhild Zimmermann

An examination of the texts of the Junius, Vercelli, Exeter and Nowell codices in their textual and historical contexts. The familiar pieces are considered in relation to the neighbouring texts and considered in relation to historical events. Zimmermann argues that the ideals of the monastic reformers of the 10th century influenced these collections and how they were recorded. 330p (Heidelberg UP 1995)
