    Carla Cucina, Professor of Germanic Philology at the University of Macerata, has in the past published extensively with a special emphasis on the subject of voyaging in the Germanic world. A massive study of runic inscriptions (predominantly Old Norse) dealing with the subject of voyaging, both literal and metaphorical (Il tema del viaggio nelle iscrizioni runiche, 1989) followed by a two-volume edition of inscriptions and saga texts dealing with Viking voyages (Vestr ok austr, 2001) and a valuable study of the structure of the Old English poem The Seafarer (Sulla struttura del Seafarer, 2002) are but some of her publications. In the present volume she brings her mastery of Germanic accounts of voyaging to bear on the most famous Old English poem about seafaring, the124-line poem The Seafarer, and the result is what must be the definitive study of that poem to date.
