Unlike most of the poetry preserved in the "Exeter Book", the Riddles are secular poems, robustly celebrating the familiar objects and natural world of eighth-century England. In this newly revised edition of his popular collection, Michael Alexander presents a selection of these ingenious and enigmatic poems in versions which capture their peculiar concision, humour and vigour of language.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Poetry & DramaAuthor: Michael AlexanderRelease Year: 2007 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
