Review Quotes:
"Self-deprecating and occasionally funny, [A.M.Juster offers] some of most thoroughly enjoyable textual commentary you are ever likely to read. But the central pleasure here is, of course, the poems. Juster's fluid and deceptively simple translations make the whole effort look easy, which is a testament to both Aldhelm's gift and Juster's craft."
