The Exeter Book
None
Exodus
This volume is one of a series of Old and Middle English texts, including works of interest and importance previously unpublished, long out of print, or otherwise inaccesible to the student. Out of print for some time, this edition of "Exodus" contains many suggestions for solving some of the poem's difficulties. The edition includes a contextual introduction, notes, glossary and bibliography.
Judith
The University of Exeter Press is pleased to announce a new and comprehensive edition of the Old English poem Judith. Frequently cited as one of the most interesting of the surviving texts from the Anglo-Saxon period, Judith is unusual in that it features a violently active-female protagonist in a role traditionally dominated by a masculine heroic ethos. Mark Griffith's volume -- the first new edition since 1952 -- includes extensive commentary by the editor, plus a comprehensive glossary, bibliography, and appendices.
Piers Plowman
This introductory study is based on the B-text version of Piers Plowman. Its structure follows that of the poem’s eight visions and its introduction situates the poem in literary and political history.
Introducing English Medieval Book History
This book offers an introduction to medieval English book-history through a sequence of exemplary analyses of commonplace book-historical problems. Rather than focus on bibliographical particulars, the volume considers a variety of ways in which scholars use manuscripts to discuss book culture, and it provides a wide-ranging introductory bibliography to aid in the study. All the essays try to suggest how the study of surviving medieval books might be useful in considering medieval literary culture more generally. Subjects covered include authorship, genre, discontinuous production, scribal individuality and community, the history of libraries and the history of book provenance.
The Exeter Anthology of Old English Poetry: Texts
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 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. The book is published in a two-volume set. Volume One contains the Introduction and Texts. Volume Two contains the Commentary, Bibliography, Index to Bibliography.
