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.
The Sword of Judith
The Book of Judith tells the story of a fictitious Jewish woman beheading the general of the most powerful imaginable army to free her people. The parabolic story was set as an example of how God will help the righteous. Judith's heroic action not only became a validating charter myth of Judaism itself but has also been appropriated by many Christian and secular groupings, and has been an inspiration for numerous literary texts and works of art. It continues to exercise its power over artists, authors and academics and is becoming a major field of research in its own right. The Sword of Judith is the first multidisciplinary collection of essays to discuss representations of Judith throughout the centuries. It transforms our understanding across a wide range of disciplines. The collection includes new archival source studies, the translation of unpublished manuscripts, the translation of texts unavailable in English, and Judith images and music.

Judith, Phoenix and Other Anglo-Saxon Poems
Excerpt from Judith, Phoenix and Other Anglo-Saxon Poems: Translated From the Grein-Wulker Text Since the very kind reception of my Translation of Beowulf I have always intended to continue my work in translating anglo-saxon poetry, but did not hurry until urged by friends well known in the department Of English philology. I now submit a second volume to those that have kindly praised my Beowulf. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
