Review
"This is still the most comprehensive introduction to Old English available, providing detailed analysis of the language, literature, history, and culture of the Anglo–Saxons. This new edition expands on the changes in languages, and provides additional material on Beowulf." — Stuart Lee , Oxford University "Mitchell and Robinson′s A Guide to Old English , now available in its eighth edition, is an invaluable resource for teaching and delighting students of Old English. It is unsurpassed in its combination of a meticulously scholarly approach with a wide–ranging selection of Old English texts. The authors′ enthusiasm for the subject is evident on every page and carries the reader with it." — Susan Irvine , University College London
From the Back Cover
A Guide to Old English is a detailed but accessible introduction to the Old English language for beginners. The language section offers a simple yet comprehensive language reference, including sections on orthography and pronunciation, inflexions, word formation, and syntax. The guide then provides an anthology of the best Old English literary works, with explanatory notes and a detailed glossary, which has been arranged carefully from the simplest texts to the more challenging, to facilitate students′ language development. Whilst retaining many of the elements of previous editions, which have made it so attractive to teachers and students of Old English for over 50 years, the eighth edition of the Guide has been updated in response to feedback from users to include the following additions: facsimile of the manuscript page from the beginning of Beowulf the first 25 lines of Beowulf , with an exceptionally detailed set of annotations aimed at preparing the student for a thorough study of the poem an explanation of Grimm′s and Verner′s Laws text revisions throughout to make the Guide as accessible as possible for undergraduate readers The book also offers a discussion of Anglo–Saxon literature, history, and culture, and a bibliography directing readers to useful publications on the subject. Altogether, this is a comprehensive introduction to Old English, combining simple, clear philology with the best literary works to provide a compelling and accessible beginners′ guide.
