Audio Book Summary

Had the Angles and Saxons not purposefully migrated to the isles of the Britons and brought with them their already-well-developed use of language, Angelina Jolie may never have appeared in the movie Beowulf. Professor Michael D.C. Drout is at his best when lecturing on the fascinating history, language, and societal adaptations of the Anglo-Saxons. He not only presents their storytelling abilities using their own words; he does so in their own voice-the incredibly melodious Old English. Drout's scholarship and recognized expertise on this subject is of the highest caliber.

    Prof. Drout just knows his stuff cold. I learned so much about the Amo-Saxon England and an important epoch in the history of the English language.
