Editorial Reviews
Review
"Swanton provides a helpful description of the poem's text and of its manuscript context, the Vercelli Book. His introduction includes material pertaining to the Ruthwell Cross and its relationship with The Dream of the Rood, a discussion of the doctrinal and iconographic backgrounds of the poem, and a comprehensive overview of its structural, thematic and stylistic concerns." -The Year's Work in English Studies, March 1999
