TODAY IN CLASS
We discussed 35-36, particularly with reference to the three major dates/time ranges associated with the epic poem Beowulf, and watched a powerpoint highlighting that aspect as well as other aspects of the poem's history. (This material WILL be on the quiz tomorrow.) We also looked at the etymology of wergild (literally "man-price"), and briefly went over the meaning of comitatus, basically straight from the study guide.
In 2nd we barely got started on the first page of the poem itself; in 4th we didn't even do that. No matter--nothing within the text of Beowulf will be on the quiz.
FOR TOMORROW
Just be prepared. Remember that the study hand-out is posted online. ( See Friday's post for the link.)
