Summary: All about the Anglo-Saxon World
Review: If you are interested in the cultural and historical backround of the Anglo-Saxons, this is definitely the book to get. Starting with famous heroic poems, it describes in brief a quick review on them before the poems themselves. Good for beginners, like I, who are interested in that era, but haven't a clue of anything.

It does include sections of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, but not nearly enough for those who wish to see it all.
It includes the Wanderer, the Seafarer, Wulf and the Wife's Lament.
It also includes BEOWULF in a full.
After that it goes on to tell of different laws, poems, tracts, wills, charms and other things including some 30 riddles [some of them quite vulgar I might add].
