Description

"The Battle of Maldon is one of the most important texts of the Anglo-Saxon age. Using his own vivid translations of the Old English verse, Mark Atherton evokes the chaotic ebb and flow of the battle while also placing Maldon in the context of its age. In doing so, The Battle of Maldon: War and Peace in Tenth-Century England provides the authoritative treatment of this iconic text, its history and its legacy"--
