 The Exeter Book is one of only four Anglo-Saxon codices left in existence and, arguably the most important. Dating from c.970, it is a large anthology of poetry, falling into two groups; religious (eg saints’ lives, the Resurrection & Ascension, Harrowing of Hell, Day of Jugement) and secular (eg the great ‘elegies’ – the Wanderer, the Seafarer & the Ruin, the earliest English love poem, the Wife’s Complaint, two heroic poems, Deor & Widsið and the riddles). By looking at the Exeter Book and the history of the period, we can go some way to opening a window of the world of Anglo-Saxon England. There will be a guided tour of the Cathedral Library at an additional cost of £2. |
