[QUOTE="Orfew, post: 6259422, member: 74968"]Sutton Hoo has been on my radar for a long time. I took a 4th year course in Anglo-Saxon literature many years ago. We had to translate about one Anglo Saxon poem per week into modern English. Try that for yourself sometime. A great course but not great if you wanted to sleep. LOL I fell in love with the Dream of the Rood, the wanderer, and the seafarer. Of course we tackled Beowulf as well. This was before Seamus Heaney's masterful translation. I am saving this show for when I have uploaded all of my lectures for this term. I am greatly looking forward to it. “How often the lone-dweller anticipates some sign, this Measurer’s mercy — must always must— mind-caring, along the ocean’s windings, stirring rime-chill seas, hands as oars many long whiles, treading the tracks of exile— the way of the world an open book always.”[/QUOTE]
