(www.pgdp.net) "Elene; Judith; Athelstan, or the Fight at Brunanburh; Byrhtnoth, or the Fight… and The Dream of the Rood" by James M. Garnett is a collection of Anglo-Saxon poems translated into English, published in the early 20th century. This compilation likely includes notable examples of early medieval literature, focusing on themes of heroism, faith, and warfare, as well as the exploration of pivotal historical and religious figures, such as Empress Helena and the biblical heroine Judith. Each poem stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural milieu of the Anglo-Saxon period. The opening of this work presents an introduction and provides context for the subsequent poems. It begins with an overview of "Elene," detailing the story of Empress Helena's quest for the true cross, emphasizing her determination and the miraculous events surrounding its discovery. The narrative suggests an exploration of faith and divine intervention, as Helena’s journey is intertwined with her son, Constantine's, rise to power and the ultimate triumph of Christianity. The beginning of the collection sets the stage for engaging tales interwoven with Christian themes and historical significance, showcasing not only literary artistry but also the values and beliefs of the time.
