    Note: In an accompanying biography, Davies writes that about 'Maldon': 'I was close-studying some Anglo-Saxon texts in comparison with their modern translations. I'd never studied Old English at university; it was a somewhat stilted exercise in beginner fascination. But out of that, "Maldon" blends both a specific, and slighty skewed, playing with language, and translation, with a small narrative moment imagined from and lifted out of the larger context of the Anglo-Saxon epic "The Battle of Maldon" '.
