I bought this book as a compulsory subject of an undergraduate intermediate level literature class. Therefore, the first thing you need to know before purchasing is that the translation of the book from original text to modern English is as few as possible. So, this may not be the book you should buy, unless you are a linguist or medieval English literature enthusiast, that is a perfect reference.
Well, this may sound negative, but as a good reference as its whole purpose, I mean positive. It is as close as possible to the original text, possibly using the original language. It is a good reference, I point out a few things, I will outline what it contains in case someone buys this.
It begins with a brief overview of the medieval history and English and Chinese sounds, a brief overview of pronunciation and grammar, then begins with Caedmon's hymn, one of the old-fashioned ancient English poems. Then please translate "Yume no yume" in comments. Unfortunately, in this book old English is not available (they can add it, this poem is just a few pages) so if you want to translate side-by-side, you need to search elsewhere. Then it has some Anglo-Saxon pieces including Beowulf, as well as translations and notes. These also do not offer Old English, but if they have, it is more understandable as it may not be necessary as the book is twice as thick as the original.
Then before the romantic style, including Sir Gavin and Green Knight, there were only Irish literature and Anglo-Norman literature. (The other one is rarely involved with King Arthur.) Then, it goes directly to Cantebury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer. This is real middle English, translating into aspects, words on each page, and important notes. They include ordinary prologue, mirror overture and story, Bath's preface and wife's story, prologue and forgiveness story, nuns pastor's story, and Parsons story. I did not actually check it myself, but there are things from the 14th century to the 15th century, lyrics, mysterious dramas, and romantic poetry and lyrics of the court.
The book also appeared in the manner described, with little written or highlighted. (Only one page has the smallest pencil mark and write)
I know this is a long comment, but I think that I can really help someone because I strive for it thoroughly. I am very satisfied with this project.

The collection outlines the Beowulf poetry, theater, essays, essays, and letters to early 21st century letters.
Molsworth's poetry is starting to attract great interest now. For example, it has been reprinted in the latest edition of the Norton British Literature Collection Volume 1 (7th edition) and will be included in several other such collections. This is the subject of a number of academic papers, many of which are included in two books published since 1993. In one year from 1577 to 1632, this poem expressed how Morse Worth looks, over the decades most important in British history. One of the earliest British supporters of true equality education. However, at the same time, her poem is also very complicated against her position in a strict patriarchal society, including a relationship with her god, her father, and her three consecutive husbands It shows attitude. This poem provides complicated self-assertion and respect, laziness and wisdom, self-respect and selfless love.
