	Decollete: Judith & Salome Archives (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Judith, however, exemplified the ultimate sacrifice, that of her virtue (both hymenally & that of her soul) for the sake of her tribe's survival.
		Judith, her noble sacrifice eliciting barely a yawn from the over-indulged audiences, fading to barely a blip on the comparative religious studies.
		In a nutshell, Judith (meaning jewess) is the story of a fetching widow who tarts herself up to seduce the enemy, gets him drunk, cuts off his head as he snores, and marches back to town triumphant, head in bag.

	Book of Judith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Judith, the magnificent widow, works deliverance for her city — and thus saves all the kingdom of Judea — by charming the Assyrian captain, Holofernes, then cutting off his head as he sleeps.
		Even though the Book of Judith is not part of the official Jewish religious canon, its narrative is associated by many within Orthodox Judaism who place it in the Hellenistic period when Judea battled the Seleucid monarchs.
		Judith and Holofernes is a famous bronze sculpture by Donatello.

	S. D. Lee 'Judith, Esther, and the Maccabees' XIII
		The lines in the poem that relate to the feast and assassination are ll.12b-146a (almost half of the extant poem).
		The effect of this is to heighten the Lord's role in Judith's victory, ultimately lessening her guilt in the assassination.
		Judith is an exemplary heroine, and Holofernes is the archetypal evil pagan.

	Horses and the Human Soul by Judith Barrington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		We understand what the act of writing means when a poem is compared to the center of a labyrinth which the poet must seek out and to a chestnut horse that "hides in shadow / one white sock and the moist gleam of an eye / announcing its steady presence."...
		The poem is resolved when she rejects the hostility of some others to her own genuinely felt and natural sexuality and regains her sense of belonging in the world: The trouble is not nature, she thinks/ but the people who say I'm not part of it.
		While the title poem, "Horses and the Human Soul," returns to the world of horses, it is primarily concerned with questions of responsibility and evil in the human world.

	Why Read Beowulf?
		Judith and Beowulf are composed in the unrhymed, four-beat alliterative style characteristic of Old English poetry and are among the earliest wholly vernacular works in the English canon.
		The struggles the poem depicts are of the good against evil: strength of sinew, heart and spirit, truth and light, pitted against dark power that gives no quarter as it shifts from shape to shape.
		And yet, although the poem ends with the death of its hero and the prophecy of extinction for his people, Beowulf is not a gloomy work, and our experience of it does not incite despair.

	The Middle English Metrical Paraphrase of the Old Testament: Introduction
		The poem concludes with the story of the mother and her seven sons who are martyred by the wicked Antiochus in II Maccabees 7, thus demonstrating, as the poet says, that the Jews too have their saints.
		In the Middle English poem, after Judith returns victorious with Holofernes' head and the army has defeated the Assyrians according to her guidance, the booty is all given to her, with the words: "We wott we have it wun / with wyll of God and wyt of the" (1473.3-4).
		Judith then, like a bountiful ruler, divides the wealth among the poor "be mesure both to man and wyfe" (1474.4).

	Judith Tannenbaum
		In Disguised as a Poem, Judith Tannenbaum tells of her experiences teaching poetry at San Quentin, a California maximum security prison, between 1985 and 1989.
		The relationship between poet and institution begins casually: she is invited to read her poems and that opportunity is followed by an invitation to lead a weekly creative writing workshop.
		For instance, she writes of her difficulties getting the prisoners to accept the idea of writing a poem from a point of view outside their own voices, to embrace the potential of projecting sympathy in the making of art.

	Introduction to the Old English poem called BEOWULF
		Nor do we know if the poem was composed by a single author, or whether it is the result of the merging together of ballads by different authors, nor whether the poem was significantly altered subsequent to its first written form.
		The poem's purpose is also unclear - arguments have been made for a naturalistic mythic allegory, a Christian allegory, a criticism of heroic culture, a mourning for the loss of heroic culture, a Germanic 'Old Testament', an allegory concerning contemporary politics in one or other of the Saxon kingdoms - just to mention a few.
		The language of the poem is predominantly (late) West Saxon, with a significant amount of Northumbrian and Mercian characteristics and forms, with some signs of Kentish influence as well--fairly well covering the entire Anglo-Saxon dialectic map.

	ENGL 209, Spring 2006 Paper 1
		Modern editors titled this poem “Maxims II” because it is composed of a series of statements expressing the proverbial wisdom of the Anglo-Saxons about a variety of subjects ranging from kings, warriors and women to inanimate objects, animals, the natural world and the Christian God.
		Many of the statements in the poem hinge on the significance of the Old English verb “sceal”: for example, the first line “A king is to guard his kingdom” is “Cyning sceal rice healdan” in the Old English.
		These riddles are short poems in which the characteristics or experiences of an object are described in a deliberately mysterious, indirect and highly metaphorical way.

	Drought Year Summary & Essays - Judith Wright
		If Americans know any of the work of one of Australia’s premier poets, Judith Wright, they are likely to know “Drought Year.” The main reason is the poem’s inclusion in the popular American collection The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry (1988).
		The poem’s narrator finds herself witness to a drought in the Australian outback, a witnessing that becomes a warning, one repeatedly punctuated by the cries of dingoes, wild dogs indigenous to Australia.
		This is most likely the reason Wright selected the dingoes’ enigmatic cries as the poem’s recurrent and eerie motif.
