OverviewThe Exeter Christ is a triptych of poems on the Advent, Ascension, and Last Judgement of Christ--also known as Christ I, II, and III. This triptych is drawn from the most important extant manuscript of vernacular verse produced in the Anglo-Saxon era, The Exeter Book. This companion collects groundbreaking new scholarship on the Exeter Christ poems from experts in the field as well as seminal but previously hard-to-find articles. The volume also includes a comprehensive bibliography and a foreword by preeminent scholar of Exeter Book studies Bernard Muir.
