Its rich literature ranges from the epic “Beowulf” to the visionary poem “The Dream of the Rood” to the varied prose writings of king Alfred and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. As the language of historical record, Old English opens an invaluable window on the early history of England.

The aim of this book is to help you to gain an efficient reading knowledge of Old English. It offers a graded progressive course in Old English based on authentic texts selected from the rich archive of poems, prose and historical documents that have survived from the libraries of early medieval England.
