This course will focus on the language, literature, and culture of Anglo-Saxon England (7th to 11th centuries). In addition to acquiring the basics of Old English and engaging in translation exercises with passages from Anglo-Saxon texts, students will read a selection of texts in modern English translation; these may include Beowulf, ‘The Battle of Maldon’, elegies such as ‘The Seafarer’, riddling poems and religious poems. (Offered in alternate years.)
