Beowulf

The first 20 lines of Beowulf, read in Anglo Saxon by Gryphon Corpus. For a truly incredible rendering of the epic in the original, check out Benjamin Bagby’s performance. He has recreated the oral experience as it might originally have been, alternately singing and narrating, accompanying himself on the Anglo Saxon harp. You can see a few clips of it here on You Tube, or purchase the full DVD at
