The Transmission of Old English Poetry (Westfield Publications in Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 12)
Description:
Most of the 185 surviving complete or fragmentary Old English poems can be found in at least two manuscripts, with a large number of overlapping lines. This detailed study examines the relationship between the manuscript texts and assesses the problems facing editors of Old English verse. Orton also identifies poems transcribed by the same hand in order to examine the influence of scribes on the transmission of texts.
