by Michael Alexander (Author)
The Old English Riddles survive through a manuscript of about the year 1000 left to Exeter Cathedral by Leofric, its first bishop. The Riddles are secular poems, robustly celebrating the familiar objects and natural world of eighth-century England. This work presents a selection of these poems.
