Old English Poetry: The Wanderer (Reading)

In this short video I discuss the Old English poem "The Wanderer" from the 10th century Exeter Book, give a reading in Modern English and Old English. Some of my pronunciation may be a touch off!

For the English translation of the ruin, I chose to use the fantastic work of Sean Miller, who I feel manages to capture the zeitgeist of the poem very well. You can find their work at the link below:
