Are you ready to traverse through time and uncover the enthralling period of Early Medieval Poetry in Anglo-Saxon Britain? Join us and our guest, Andrew Rader Hansen, a poet and law school candidate, as we journey back into the past, unearthing the captivating cultures, intricate poetry, and complex histories of this epoch often shrouded in mystery.
Venture with us into the fascinating world of Anglo-Saxon poetry. Let's unravel its rich tapestry, decode the emotions, feelings, and literary tropes used in the period, and delve into the artistry of alliteration, rhyme, meter, and rhythm. We'll flirt with the enigmatic charm of an Old English riddle and compare the poetic traditions of Old English with other literary traditions such as Hebrew and Chinese poetry.
As we weave through the complexities of dating Beowulf, discussing the idea of a unified Anglo-Saxon England, and the influence of Scandinavian people on the dramatic peoples, Andrew lends his unique perspective and insights. We'll grapple with the challenges of reconstructing Anglo-Saxon paganism, study what you enjoy and its practical application, and debate on the fascinating role of the papacy in the early medieval period. So, gear up for an enlightening exploration of the past, to better understand our present and future.
