The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry
Commonly referred to as The Exeter Book, this important anthology is the earliest and largest surviving book of vernacular poetry from Anglo-Saxon England.
This DVD provides vivid, sharp, precise and minutely examinable photographs of the whole Exeter Book and also incorporates Bernard Muir’s book-based edition, bibliography and commentary from the second edition of the Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry, in two volumes (University of Exeter Press, 2000). This revised edition of the two-volume set first published in 1994 includes many newly-discovered alterations to the poetic texts in addition to the four hundred new readings listed in the first edition. The Bibliography has also been updated and reorganised and the Commentary includes discussion of critical works which have appeared since 1994.
