Cook is a translation of an Old English poem written in the early 20th century. This work provides an accessible version of a lengthy versified paraphrase of the Biblical Book of Genesis, particularly focusing on themes of creation, sin, and divine retribution, which are pivotal in the Christian narrative. The translation seeks to present the original poem's literary qualities to modern readers while maintaining fidelity to the content. The opening of "Genesis A" outlines the creation narrative and the fall of angels led by a prideful figure. The text begins with a salutation praising God as the eternal ruler, emphasizing His omnipotence and the joy of the angels who once lived in harmony with Him. The narrative quickly shifts to the rebellion of the angels, their subsequent punishment, and the creation of the earth as a new home for humanity following the void left by their fall. The text sets forth the themes of good versus evil and divine judgment, illustrating the consequences of pride and sin, which will develop further in the retelling of the Genesis story.
