Songs of the grey hour: Old English elegies from the Exeter Book
A translation and philological study of 7 lyrical poems from the Old English Exeter Book dated to the 10th century. The text of the works and the facsimiles of the 17 pages on which they had been written present the poems in their original form, emphasizing the manuscript context of these works and the archaic form of early medieval English. The poems are an example of early medieval literature in a vernacular language as well as an element of English literary culture. They feature the themes of the loneliness of the wanderer and the prayers of the pilgrim, as well as of love, loyalty, hatred, humility and pride, and of man in the face of God’s glory and history.
