A selection of Gavin Bone 's translations from the Anglo-Saxon arranged by Rayner Heppenstall
Readers: Marjorie Westbury Robert Marsden , Felix Felton
With the exception of Beowulf, The Battle ol Maldon, the various charms and riddles, and the poems on specifically Christian or Biblical subjects, almost the whole corpus of extant Anglo-Saxon verse is included in this selection. The poems cannot therefore be said to have been selected to illustrate a theme, but a theme or mood is implicit in them and is indicated by the title of the programme.
