Expanded Course Description
This is the first in a three-course sequence aimed at reading and understanding Old English, the language of the Anglo-Saxons (the English between 449 and 1066). We will concentrate on bringing reading skills up to speed, so you will be able to read Old English literature (taught in later terms of the course) with some fluency, but we will also study Anglo-Saxon culture, worldview, and artifacts, and learn how to write in runes. Satisfactory completion of the three-term Old English sequence (ENG 428, 429, 430) satisfies the university BA language requirement.
