"Has excited a good deal of comment and acclaim by Anglo-Saxonists. It will supersede Klaeber's great edition (1950), standard for many years, because it is better directed to the needs of the student. The accompanying glossary and careful notes are especially helpful."--George H. Brown, Stanford University

"A major contribution to the undergraduate study of this difficult poem. Its existence may be a key factor in keeping alive at American colleges a close reading of Anglo-Saxon England's most significant and powerful poem."--Craig R. Davis, Smith College

"How I wish I'd see this earlier. This text strikes a wonderful balance between the needs of scholars and teachers, and those of students with an introductory knowledge of Old English. The introduction, notes, critical apparatus, and bibliography are first-rate complements to a carefully edited and intelligently glossed text."--Thomas A. Goodman, University of Miami

"This looks like a very useful volume--particularly for a course in which there will be a number of undergraduates."--Thomas D. Hill, Cornell University

"Very useful--either in conjunction with Klaeber, or to replace it. Really helps advanced Old English students to speed up their translating and focus on grammar. I actually looked forward to the translating this term."--C.M. Rose, Portland State University
