Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Beneath the shifting mists of early England, the voices of its first chroniclers echo through the centuries, preserved in the stark, unadorned lines of the Saxon chronicle. Here, the tumult of conquest, the rise and fall of kings, and the daily struggles of an emerging nation are recorded with a clarity that is both haunting and immediate. This volume brings forth a direct, literal translation of those ancient words, allowing modern readers to experience the pulse of Anglo-Saxon England in its own tongue-simple, powerful, and unfiltered. The chronicle stands as one of the most important primary sources for anyone fascinated by medieval British history. Its annals trace the course of events from the earliest days of the Saxon era, capturing the raw forces that shaped the land, the shifting allegiances between kingdoms, and the moments of crisis and triumph that defined the age. For those drawn to early English history, this translation opens a rare window onto the everyday realities and grand designs of a world in transition, where the old ways gave way to new forms of rule and faith. Every line is steeped in the atmosphere of a distant yet foundational past, offering the reader a direct encounter with the language and mindset of those who witnessed the forging of England. This translation remains deeply engaging for scholars, classic-library enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the origins of English historical texts. The careful rendering of the old English chronicle into accessible modern language preserves the immediacy and authenticity of the original, while making it possible to appreciate the rhythm and cadence of the Saxon manuscripts themselves. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For those who value the preservation of English chronicles translation and seek to hold a tangible piece of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts, this volume stands as a bridge to the formative centuries of medieval England.

See Anna Gurney's entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient and her husband had spent some time in Rome in 1842, and in 1838 had befriended the Alpinist Henriette d'Angeville at Geneva. 4pp, 4to. Bifolium with mourning border and watermark year 1840. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of glue from label on outsides of gutter. The letter begins: 'My dear Lady Cullum | I think You & Sir Thomas may be home by this time & I must wish to enquire how you both are after your long wanderings. Your letters gave me very true pleasure - & indeed gratified many of your Friends in these parts - amongst them Miss Fowler - I had the comfort of a visit from her not long ago - & she spoke with much pleasure of the prospect of one day renewing the pleasant acquaintance formed on the Rhine'. She continues with news of Miss Fowler (visiting 'her Brother & Sister near Melksham in Wiltshire') and of 'Lady Buxton' (who 'does not continue quite so sound as we cd. have wished'), whose own 'Italian sojourn' gives 'pleasure to all the party'. With regard to the Cullums' own trip, she repeats her thanks for 'giving us so entertaining a history - & very glad shd. I be to hear the completion at N Repps Cottage'. She wonders if they ever 'come near this corner of the world', and thanks them for their 'truly kind wish to see me one day at Hardwick [.] The return to our dear Home was a [giant?] trial to me, & I know [sic] see by experience that real happiness once [reached?], is not to be [?] on earth'. She commends them for having taken 'a rest at Kissingen before entering on the great fatigues of home life', and thanks them for news of her 'old friend Francois', before concluding.…

Linguist, educator, and medieval historian Anna GurneyÊ(1795Ð1857)Êpublished her first book, A Literal Translation of the Saxon Chronicle, at the age of twenty-three and was met with critical praise for the accuracy and clarity of her translation. Though she is now remembered mostly for her translations of Old English and Old Norse texts, she was also an abolitionist and a scholar of several African languages including Hausa and Yoruba, the latter of which she studied with Samuel Ajayi CrowtherÊ(c. 1809Ð1891). GurneyÕs additional pursuits included participating in maritime rescue missions on the Norfolk coast and co-founding the Belfry School, which still operates as an elementary school in its original building in Overstrand, England. Twelvemo. 324, [95] pp. Early armorial calf ruled in blind with crosshatch-patterned panel and stamped with crest of a lion rampant with an ax, possibly of the Scottish McDowall clan. Calf rubbed at corners and extremities. Rebacked with twentieth century calf spine with red morocco label. Marbled edges. Some light foxing but pages are very clean throughout. With a late twentieth century bookplate on front pastedown of medievalist and book collector Brian S. Donaghey. A good, bright copy. First edition. Volume two of the 1830 book The British Herald, or Cabinet of Armorial Bearings by Thomas Robson describes numerous variants of the Scottish McDowall clan arms as being comprised of a crown and a lion rampant holding an ax (or sword), which matches the design on the armorial binding of the present book.…
