The surviving body of Anglo-Saxon poetry includes a number of interesting but neglected poems which have only appeared in the volumes of the 'Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records'. Many of these 'poems of wisdom and learning' are not only attractive in themselves, but are important evidence for the Anglo-Saxon vision of life and art. This volume presents them with text and facing translation, and a general introduction. The twenty or so poems are divided into three groups - learning, religion, and history - and each group has a separate introduction; there are also notes on difficult passages.
