Reviews
"...As with other books in the Dallas Medieval Texts and Translations series, it is useful for scholars to have an authoritative text and a reliable prose translation for a historically significant text with intermittently challenging Latin. The book's greatest value, however, comes from its well-written and thorough commentary, which is admirably precise about details and thoughtful about context." --A.M. Juster, The University Bookman, Winter 2018

Synopsis
The Waltharius , a medieval Latin epic poem of over 1400 lines, richly retells the story of a vigorous Germanic saga in the language and style of classical and Christian Latin poetry. Walter, its hero, is a pagan warrior ready to mock his enemies and mercilessly decapitate them, but also a pious Christian who refrains from premarital sex and stops to pray and ask for God's mercy in the middle of a battle. The poem varies remarkably in tone, providing both fervent moral commentary and bitter black comedy. The growing scholarship on the poem outside of Germany, where it has always been popular, no doubt results from its weird allure and eclectic nature. It has something for everyone. This new edition uses a fresh review of manuscripts - especially the recently discovered fragments at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign - in order to provide a text and apparatus that will aid the reader in understanding the poem's tangled manuscript history. The notes are rather fuller than those of previous English-language editions, providing useful context to understand the complicated relationships among the Germanic, classical Latin, and Christian Latin traditions as well as tracking various themes and stylistic features that the poet employs., The Waltharius, a medieval Latin epic poem of over 1400 lines, richly retells the story of a vigorous Germanic saga in the language and style of classical and Christian Latin poetry.

    The book was in great condition - better than described; a terrific value with a dust jacket in this condition. It will look great on the shelf and off. Well packaged and promptly shipped.

    Disappointed with this purchase. The listing had no details on condition or dust cover, and the book arrived without one, covered in library cards and markings. I even emailed the seller to confirm it was a hardback. Oddly, the listing was updated with this information only after I received the book. Given the poor condition, I would never have purchased it at such a high price.
