As a chronicle of one of England's first religious poets, this book examines Caedmon's famed metrical paraphrase of Bible stories, notably his treatment of the Genesis narrative. By closely analyzing this work, the book elucidates the creative and linguistic techniques employed by Caedmon. This book will appeal to those interested in Anglo-Saxon history, early English literature, and the origins of Christian poetry in England.
