Old English (Anglo-Saxon) Period (450–1066)s and notes
The Old English (Anglo-Saxon) Period (450–1066) marks the earliest phase of English literature, written in Old English—a Germanic language brought by Anglo-Saxon settlers. This era is known for its heroic and religious poetry, rooted in oral tradition and characterized by alliteration, kennings, and a focus on fate (wyrd), loyalty, and bravery. Key works include the epic Beowulf, The Seafarer, and The Wanderer. Literature blended pagan and Christian themes, as Christianity spread through monasteries. Important early poets include Caedmon and Cynewulf. The period ended with the Norman Conquest in 1066.ectures and notes for exam success and earning
