Annotation
The seminar focuses on reading and analysis of selected Old English texts. Each text is presented as a self-contained whole with a glossary, philological commentary and basic information on its literary background.
The aim of the seminar is a) to provide students of the history of the language with a wider empirical basis; b) to encourage the students who aim to pursue their study of historical linguistics and/or English medieval literature to develop a firmer philological and linguistic grasp of medieval English.
