Middle English (~ s) Oure fadir şat art in heuenes halwid be şi name; şi reume or kyngdom come to be. Be şi wille don in herşe as it is dounin heuene. yeue to us today oure eche dayes bred. And foryeue to us oure dettis şat is oure synnys as we foryeuen to oure dettouris şat is to men şat han synned in us. And lede us not into temptacion but delyuere us from euyl. (Early) Modern English (~1400s onward) Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Fun fact: Your favorite guy Shakespeare is considered Modern English.
5 I. THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD ( ) THE ANGLO SAXON INVASION THE EVENT THAT STARTED IT ALL 428 CE BRITON RULER (VORTIGERN) HIRES GERMANIC (SAXON) TROOPS (MERCENARIES) TO REPEL INVASIONS FROM PICTS (PAINTED ONES ) FROM THE NORTH (SCOTLAND); THE STORY GOES THAT HE FAILED TO PAY HIS DEBT TO THEM SO THEY URN AGAINST HIM AND INVADE HIS KINGDOM 449 CE ENGLAND IS THE TARGET OF A LARGE SCALE INVASION; THE BEGINNING OF THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD THIS IS CONSIDERED ANGLES (MODERN SOUTHERN DENMARK) SAXONS (COASTLANDS OF MODERN GERMANY) JUTES (MODERN MAINLAND DENMARK) CONQUEST LASTS OVER 2 CENTURIES BY 600 CE, GERMANIC SPEECH OF ENGLAND HAS BECOME UNIQUE FROM CONTINENTAL GERMANIC LANGUAGES. 4 kingdoms
6 II. ANGLO SAXON CULTURE ( ) A-S CULTURE EVOLVES AS GERMANIC TRIBES EITHER DRIVE OUT THE NATIVES OR MIXED WITH THE. THEY BRING THEIR OWN RELIGION & CULTURE EXIST IN HIGHLY ORGANIZED TRIBAL UNITS 2 TYPES OF IMPORTANT BONDS/COMMITMENTS: KINSHIP: LOYALTY TO ONE S KIN & TRIBE LORDSHIP: LOYALTY TO ONE S LORD/KING/CHIEF (MOST IMPORTANT) BOTH LOYALTIES ARE VITAL TO SURVIVAL COMITATUS HEROIC VIRTUES COURAGE - ABSOLUTE AND RECKLESS HONOR AIM IS GLORY, THE FAME OF A GOOD NAME PROWESS IN BATTLE DRINKING AT A FEAST (LIFE MOVES FROM BATTLE TO FEAST AND FEAST TO BATTLE) UBI SUNT WHERE ARE THOSE WHO WERE BEFORE US? LIFE IS SHORT/FLEETING/TRANSITORY CONSIDER HOW THIS SHAPES THEIR WARRIOR MENTALITY
7 RELIGIOUS CONSIDERATIONS: PAGANISM VS CHRISTIANITY PAGAN SOCIETY POLYTHEISTIC WORSHIPED PAGAN GODS GERMANIC VERSION OF GODS E.G. WODEN (I.E. GERMAN VERSION OF ODIN) VIEW OF LIFE IS FATALISTIC; YOU HAVE A FATE AND IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN BELIEF IN WYRD FATE, EVERYONE, EVEN THE GODS HAD A FIXED AND UNAVOIDABLE FATE. HUMAN LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF WYRD/FATE CONVERSION TO CHRISTIANITY 597 CE GREGORIAN MISSION POPE GREGORY SENDS AUGUSTINE TO CONVERT THE ENGLISH TO CHRISTIANITY A CLASH OF RELIGIONS CAN BE SEEN IN THE LITERATURE MOST OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND CONVERTS TO CHRISTIANITY BY 650.

9 CULTURAL ARTIFACTS AND SUTTON HOO SUTTON HOO 7 TH CENTURY BURIAL MOUNDS/PAGAN BURIAL SITE OF AN UNKNOWN KING SUFFOLK, ENGLAND - THE SHIP-BURIAL DISCOVERED UNDER MOUND 1 IN 1939 CONTAINED ONE OF THE MOST MAGNIFICENT ARCHAEOLOGICAL FINDS IN ENGLAND FOR ITS SIZE AND COMPLETENESS. FROM SUTTON HOO WE LEARNED BURIAL PRACTICES BELIEF IN AN AFTERLIFE MIXING OF PAGAN AND CHRISTIAN TRADITIONS AS WE READ BEOWULF, TWO FUNERALS ARE DESCRIBED FOR US. CONSIDER THE SIMILARITIES OF SUTTON HOO TO THE BURIALS IN THE POEM. HOW ARE THESE IMPORTANT TO THE INTERMINGLING OF CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN TRADITIONS?
10 Model of the ships outline and how it might have appeared with the chamber area outlined in white.
11 Recreation of the burial chamber, which was designed like a room in the king s house.
12 Warrior and horse buried with the king (horse sacrificed to travel with him into the afterlife) Mystery spoons read Salvos (Saul) and Pavlos (Paul) No one knows why they re there, but it reveals the co-existence of pagan religion and Christianity at this point in Anglo-Saxon history

15 "They stretched their beloved lord in his boat, laid out by the mast, amidships, the great ringgiver. Far-fetched treasures were piled upon him, and precious gear. I never heard before of a ship so well furbished with battle tackle, bladed weapons and coats of mail. The massed treasure was loaded on top of him: it would travel far on out into the ocean's sway. from Beowulf
16 DANISH INVASION, ENGLISH UNIFICATION, AND NORMAN CONQUEST 871 CE ALFRED THE GREAT TAKES THE THRONE BECOMES THE 1ST MONARCH (KING OF WESSEX) DANISH INVASION: BATTLES WITH THE DANES (VIKINGS) 1ST INVASION ALFRED S FORCES ULTIMATELY SUCCESSFUL; DANES GERMANIC LANGUAGE BEGINS TO BLEND WITH ANGLO SAXON 2ND INVASION VIKINGS PREVAIL; FORCED DANISH RULE IMPORTANCE OF CHRISTIANITY IN UNIFICATION OF ANGLO SAXONS AND THE DANES 1066 NORMAN INVASION DEFEATS BOTH THE ANGLOSAXONS AND THE DANES; END OF THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD

19 Beowulf only survives in one manuscript, called the Cotton Vitellius A XV (according to how it was coded in Sir Robert Cotton s library. Shelf A, 15 th manuscript) It was damaged in the Ashburnham House (part of Westminster School in London) fire of (A unique copy of The Battle of Maldon was destroyed) The manuscript contains other Old English poems, a sermon, a work about Aristotle, and an illustrated collection of beasts and monsters.
20 The original composition of Beowulf is also a matter of controversy. Who? When? Where? We don t know precisely. The date is a subject of controversy, but it is at least 1,000 years old. Some scholars argue the 8 th century; others the 10 th or 11 th. The problematic Pagan/ Christian nature of the poem is also a matter of much scholarly debate.
21 As you we read we will examine Epic hero/poetry elements The virtues of Anglo Saxon culture Look for Pagan and Christian elements Look for what the poet celebrates (What is seen as heroic? What is seen as honorable behavior? What is criticized and why?) Look for connections that can be made to other texts Look for style elements (repetition, theme, epic conventions, etc.) Consider STRUCTURE (We will be examining different elements of ring structure in this poem)
22 THE BATTLE OF MALDON RECOUNTS AN HISTORIC BATTLE IN WHICH THE ANGLO SAXONS FAILED TO PREVENT A VIKING INVASION CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING AS YOU READ: COMITATUS HONORABLE VS DISHONORABLE BEHAVIOR IN BATTLE ELEMENTS OF PAGANISM VS CHRISTIANITY IMPORTANT BATTLE MOMENTS (YOU MAY WANT TO READ THE BIT OF HISTORICAL INFORMATION AT THE BEGINNING TO HELP YOU CONTEXTUALIZE
