Beowulf: A Verse Translation : Authoritative Text, Contexts, Criticism | Seamus Heaney, Daniel Donoghue

so-so

I try to read classics periodically and I‘d never read this. I tried to be excited. It was fine.

Erinreadsthebooks I tried to teach this to seniors my first year of teaching. We were all miserable. 😩😅 1mo

The Age of Bede | David Hugh Farmer

Random book from our personal library.

Read in 2005. ★★★★★

We visited Bede's tomb in Durham Cathedral in Oct 2016 and it was a very moving experience. I lit a candle in memory of the patron saint of historians. As I respectfully explored the Gallilee Chapel, I looked up and saw the original painting from the cover of this book high up on a wall, slightly hidden from the casual tourist. It was so wonderful and unexpected that I almost fell over.

SamAnne What a lovely story. 2mo

Recent acquisition from St Mark's Cathedral for our personal library.

A hardback copy of one of my favourite books, which these days is usually found only in paperback.
