5.0 out of 5 stars
A Northern Perspective,
This review is from: The Triumph Tree: Scotland's Earliest Poetry Ad 550-1350 (Canongate Scottish Classics) (Paperback)
This is an excellent collection of early and medieval poetry from the north of Britain, competently translated into modern English from five languages (Latin, Welsh, Gaelic, Old English and Norse). As such it brings together from a Northern perspective a great variety of poems usually segregated into their own linguistic pigeonholes. Each selection has its own brief historical headnote. A useful collection for the student, and a rewarding box of surprises for the casual browser.
