About this book

According to Graham Holderness, much of what matters in Anglo-Saxon history survives in the period's poetry. The verse records political, moral and ethical questions, along with theological, ecclesiastical, military and constitutional preoccupations.

Holderness makes these Old English poems, and the culture behind them, accessible to readers. His approach asks what the poems show about how individual people perceived their world and lived their own experience.

The book is suited to students and readers of medieval English literature. Published by Liverpool University Press. ISBN-13: 9780746309148.
