Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the epic fragment Judith, an important part of the Old English poems. It explores the metrical form and language, adhering to the theories and systems developed by scholars such as Rieger and Sievers. The author contrasts Judith with other Old English poems, especially those thought to be written by Cynewulf, to determine the relative dates and locations of their composition. The results indicate that the work was composed in the mid to late ninth century and was likely written in Northumbria. The author concludes that Judith is a superior work to later imitations, and its significance lies in its combination of artistic form with elevated style that glorifies God through the actions of a devout woman.
