This Index embodies an attempt to make more accessible the riches of Spenser spoetry. Nothing of quite the same design and scope has yet appeared. The title AS ubject-I ndex to I he Poems of Edmund Spenser is the best that I could devise, but fails to give a wholly adequate idea of the work. It ban index in so far as it includes the names of persons, places, animals, and things, whatever, in fact, has a function and definite meaning whatever, in the comr pilers judgment, would be likely to prove of interest to the student of Spenser and his age. It partakes also of the nature of a dictionary, in that it includes brief explanations, all;orical and otherwise, whenever such explanations seem necessary. In its present form the Index is the result of long-continued experiment and of discussion with scholars in the Spenserian field. It had its inspiration in a graduate course in Spenser at Yale, and was undertaken at the suggestion of Professor Albert Stanburrou Cook. The materials were gathered in the first instance by personal study of Spenser stext, and afterwards supplemented by the published investigations of scholars. The first draft was well-nigh completed when, in 1915, Osgood s Concordance to Spenser made its appearance. The work was then subjected to a thorou revision, which resulted in a notable gain in fulness and serviceability. The Index strictly conforms to the Concordance in such matters as readings, spellings, and abbreviations, so that students who accustom themselves to the one may be able to use the other without the necessity of learning a second set of sjnnbols. The alphabetical order has been consistently followed, not only in the disposition of subjects, but in the arrangement of headings within the individual articles. For ease of reference this method undoubtedly possesses certain advantages. It does, however, involve an occasional awkwar (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Christ of Cynewulf, a Poem in Three Parts: The Advent, the Ascension, and the Last Judgment, Translated Into English Prose (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from The Christ of Cynewulf, a Poem in Three Part...)

Excerpt from The Christ of Cynewulf, a Poem in Three Parts: The Advent, the Ascension, and the Last Judgment, Translated Into English Prose My purpose in the present translation is so to combine faithfulness with literary quality as to afford reasonable satisfaction to both the specialist and the general student of literature. In my diction I have endeavored to avoid unintelligible archaisms, and have sought after simple idioms, with a preference for words of Germanic origin. All things considered, prose has been adopted as the most satisfactory medium of translation. Verse may be the ideal form, but it requires an ideal translator; and with the exception of Tennyson's version of The Battle of Brunanburh, and perhaps one or two others, I can think of none that are at all adequate. Nor is prose without its peculiar advantages; in at least one important respect it is superior to verse, since its flexibility offers a more facile medium for reproducing that metrical variety which is one of the principal charms of Old English poetry. Up to the present time there have appeared three complete translation of this poem - Thorpe's in his edition of the Codex Exoniensis, Gollancz's in his two editions of the Christ, and Grein's in his Dichtungen der Angelsachsen. I have made free use of these translations, and am indebted to them for an occasional word or phrase. The line-numbering follows the original, which necessarily causes irregular intervals between the marginal numbers. Square brackets indicate words inserted by the translator for the sake of clearness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
