Old English Literature: Critical Essays
Some of the essays in this volume are extremely worthwhile: Sarah Foot's "The Making of Angelcynn," for example, which explores King Alfred's appropriation of the term "Angelcynn" in order to foster the idea of Englishness among his subjects. Like all anthologies of literary criticism, however, whatever the field, this particular anthology is a mixed bag. I consult it when I'm teaching one or another of the texts. The editor R. M. Liuzza's translation of Beowulf is excellent--a nearly perfect combination of accuracy and readability.
