Yes very good, Benjamin Bagby performs Beowulf in English as it was spoken 1000 years ago or more ( better known as Angelo Saxon ). He recites the entire play. My Netherlands is good and i know a bit of german, however the Angelo Saxon isnt easy to understand. Its my aim to eventually understand the Angelo Saxon in this story ( so ive got the beowulf movie and a angelosaxon/modern english beowulf book ) with this ill be able to understand the play with a bit of study. I recomend this quality DVD, ... Read More

Filmed in Sweden and recited in Old English and accompanied by a harp--this performance is as close to the spirit of the ancient warrior as the modern world is likely to encounter. I played the first part of Benjamin Bagby's Beowulf for my survey class in British literature, and the class was so attentive that there was nary a rustle in the room. This video will be part of any future class I teach on this period.

This is not something to put on and then listen to in the background-- it demands your attention. ... Read More

Very quick...I teach adolescent boys at a residential facility. These boys did not like it at all, big mistake on my part showing it to them. In fact, we didn't even finish it due to the complaining. I, on the other hand, was captivated. After awhile I didnt even read the subtitles, I just enjoyed the performance.

I am not a scholar. Dilettante would a proper description of my tastes. Omnivorous interests.
I bought Bagby's Beowulf DVD on a whim, having enjoyed over the years several versions of the printed Beowulf, most recently the dual-language additions of Chickering and Heaney. I wanted to hear the Anglo-Saxon words spoken aloud.
What a pleasant surprize! I was thrilled, enthralled by the performance. It gave me shivers. Even my thirteen-year old daughter thought it "awesome" (at ... Read More
