James E. Cathey is Professor Emeritus of German and Scandinavian studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA. His research interests include Germanic linguistics, Scandinavian languages, Finnish, and Old Saxon. He teaches several classes in these areas at the university, along with Swedish.
"As someone who has taught the Hêliand and had to go to unheard of
lengths of photocopying to bring together diverse and difficult to
find texts, I cannot tell you how genuinely helpful Cathey's work
will be. It will be the version for students in North America, and
quite probably abroad as well."
G. Ronald Murphy, Georgetown University"...a useful addition to
texts available for budding philologists."
Tom Shippey, The Times Literary Supplement"As a means of
introducing students to this fascinating world and challenging
text, Cathey's study should prove to be valuable, and one may hope
that its publication will indeed contribute to growth in the
interest of English speakers for the Old Saxon world."
John M. Jeep, Speculum
