Struggling with finding anything intellectual enough for the Subject Centre, I'm temporarily distracted by the arrival of more new books from the OUP (there's a sale on).
So what's going to stare accusingly at me from shelves until the day I die?
Gwyn Jones's translation of Eirik the Red and Other Icelandic Sagas
Angela Leighton's exploration of form and Victorian poetry, On Form
The Oxford History of English
John Kerrigan's Archipelagic English: Literature, History and Politics 1603-1707.
Let me know if the Icelandic sagas are any good MATT(!) is a big fan of the Norse ones
ReplyDeleteI've read older translations, and they are very good. They have a lot in common with the Norse sagas, so they should be familiar to MATT!
ReplyDeleteThanks Voley! The MATT was aimed at Ewar rather than yourself. Suffice it to say, if I wanted a detective I, er, wouldn't be hiring him! ;-)
