Maldon and Brunnanburh: Two Old English Songs of Battle (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Maldon and Brunnanburh: Two Old English Songs of Battle

Although the beginning and the end of the poem were wanting, it is probable that but few lines were lost. The fragment was printed by Hearne in 1726. Five years later the ms. Was destroyed in the great Cottonian fire, so that now we must rely on Hearne's edition.
