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.
