The Manuscript of BeowulfThe image above contains the first line and half of Beowulf from the first leaf of
the manuscript: HWÆT WE GARDEna in geardagum þeodcyninga
Because there were sounds in Old English (600-1100 AD) that were not thought to be represented by the Roman alphabet, Old English used runic characters for those sounds. The runes were "asc" (pronounced "ash") (æ), "eth" (ð), "thorn"
(þ), and "wen" (looks similar to a "p" but with a smaller curved bow).
Translation: Lo! we [have heard] about the might of the Spear-Danes' kings
in the early days...

Title What is the title? What do I already know about this topic? What does it have to do with the preceding chapter? Does it express a point of view? What do I think we will be reading about?
