Tutor: Kay Smith
Beowulf is a seminal text in Anglo-Saxon literature, required reading in many courses. But Beowulf is also a ripping yarn. It has feasting and fighting. It has a monster and his mother. It has a dragon in its barrow and an underwater home. This term we will continue our reading of the poem having reference to the language of the poem, the peculiar Anglo-Saxon verse form, the culture of the time and its possible links to English society today.
