Lecture one introduction
The earliest English poems appeared in the Anglo-Saxon period which experienced a Bookless Age. English literature was almost exclusively a verse literature in oral form. The oldest specimens now existent are found in the Exeter Book containing the following poems: Widsith, Doer’s Lament, The Wanderer and The Sea-Farer, The Battle of Maldon.
