An Anglo-Saxon Reader - In Prose and Ver

This vintage contains Henry Sweet's 1879 reader, ¿An Anglo-Saxon Reader¿. Still an authoritative handbook to this day, this volume was designed to help students acquire a fundamental understanding of Old English through the study of a large variety of poetry and prose, ranging from ninth-century Kentish charters to Wulfstan's ¿Address to the English¿. This fascinating book is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Old English, and would make for a wonderful addition to any collection. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction.
