Introduction to Old English

The article on Caedmon currently on wikipedia is written by one of the experts in the field and was reviewed by the Anglo-Saxonists list-serve.

Not only did Bede influence chronology and commit the facts and legends of early British history to writing--he's got his own theme park! Ok, so it's really more a living history museum than a theme park. It still makes Anglo-Saxonists happy.

The Sutton Hoo finds are spectacular (check them out at the British Museum if you're ever in London). See more pictures at this site.
