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
