A bit of Olde English...

Mar 13, 2008 10:32

For my history & language buff friends, and those just interested in the Anglo-Saxon language...

Anglo-Saxon Aloud
A daily reading of the entire Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records,which includes all poems written in Old English. By Michael D. C. Drout, Prentice Associate Professor of English at Wheaton College, Norton, MA.

(In addition to the Beowulf manuscript, there are poems about Christ, and my favorite...some magic "charms" for various things, such as keeping bees at the hive, curing a certain disease, etc)

Thanks to yendi for the link.

links, fun, random
