The texts in this reader include prose, metrical prose, and poetry, and represent a variety of genres (saints' lives and metrical charms as well as heroic verse). Frequently taught canonical texts are balanced with interesting, lesser-known works. The glossary is at the back of the book, and the companion website includes texts with clickable glossing, as well as additional texts for study.
