The Old English Literature, also called Anglo-Saxon, was the earliest form of English. It is difficult to give exact dates for the rise and development of a language, because it does not change suddenly; but perhaps it is true to say that Old English was spoken from about A. D. 600 to about 1000.

http://www.english.ox.ac.uk/oecoursepack/

The site is part of a project funded by the English Subject Centre. It is hosted by the English Faculty at Oxford but everyone can use. It works as a coursepack designed to help the study of primary texts included in many Old English Courses. In this site you can find glossary and notes, translations, contextual information, among others.
This site presents a lot of key texts used in the study of Old English at major UK Universities. They are presented as hypertext editions, i.e. links will bring up extra information for the students to read. In addition each text has a link to a discussion board where people can post up further comments, notes, links, etc.
