The Old English Riddles of the 'Exeter Book' New edition
Craig Williamson
The Exeter Book, a late tenth-century manuscript of early Old English poetry, is an anthology of religious homiletic verse, elegiac poetry, and ninety-one lyric riddles. This volume supersedes all earlier editions of the riddles as the text contains many new manuscript readings, and a summary is given of the scholarship on each riddle.
