Produktinformationen zu „Waldere (ePub)“

Waldere was admired by the Anglo-Saxons as the ultimate warrior, and the epic that bears his name stood on equal terms with the only surviving Anglo-Saxon epic, Beowulf, though, sadly, most of it is lost. However, two fragments of the Anglo-Saxon poems remain, and a 9th century Latin version enables us to put those fragments in context. This book is an attempt to reconstruct the lost epic and present it as though it were a translation of an original, similar in style to Seamus Heaney's Beowulf, using a modern version of the Anglo-Saxon poetic line.

Autoren-Porträt von Christopher Webster

Christopher Webster was brought up in Conisbrough, which is famous for its well-preserved castle. The castle and its link with Hengest provided the inspiration for this book. Another inspiration was studying English at university, particularly the study of Anglo-Saxon. His first publication was Poetry Through Humour and Horror. This was followed by many more educational publications including the best selling 100 Literacy Hours and study notes on Christina Rossetti and Ezra Pound. His writing about Conisbrough includes The Castle Trilogy, Coal Dust Kisses, four books of short stories and and Conisbrough Tales, which he describes as 'a Canterbury Tales' for Conisbrough. He also writes in other genres, such as Poetry, Regency Romance and Science Fiction under a range of pen-names. He is currently living in Laken and teaching in a European School.
