The first page of the Beowulf manuscript (left) with its opening

Hƿæt ƿē Gārde/na ingēar dagum þēod cyninga / þrym ge frunon...

"Listen! We of the Spear-Danes from days of yore have heard of the glory of the folk-kings..."

Join Cædmon as he leads us through the evolution of the English language from Old English (Anglo-Saxon), through Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English with readings from his namesake, Cædmon the Shepherd, Geoffrey Chaucer, Milton, and others poets.
