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.
In this site we can find some information about the greatest Old English poem: Beowulf. Here, we can find the importance of the poem to English literature, some important terms to try to understand the text, once the old language cannot be read now except by those who have made a special study of it, a list of characters, and we can read the poem’s story.
