Old English, the bedrock of Present Day English, was the language spoken by Germanic peoples in Britain from the early 400s to 1066. In this course, you will learn the Old English language through the poetry written in it. Selections may include such diverse selections as "Caedmon's Hymn," "The Seafarer," and "Judith." A working knowledge of English grammar is recommended.
