The Anglo-Saxon Poems of Beowulf: The Traveler's Song and The Battle of Finnesburh is a book that was first published in 1835 by John Mitchell Kemble. The book contains translations of two epic poems from the Anglo-Saxon period: The Traveler's Song and The Battle of Finnesburh. The Traveler's Song is a poem that tells the story of a warrior who travels from one kingdom to another, seeking shelter and hospitality. The poem is an example of the Germanic heroic code, which emphasizes the importance of loyalty, bravery, and hospitality. The Battle of Finnesburh is another epic poem that describes a battle between two groups of warriors. The poem is known for its vivid descriptions of battle scenes and its portrayal of the courage and bravery of the warriors.Kemble's translation of these two poems is considered to be one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon scholarship. His translation is accompanied by detailed notes and commentary, which provide historical and cultural context for the poems. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Anglo-Saxon literature, as well as for scholars studying the history and culture of the Anglo-Saxon period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
