FOUNDTION OF LITERATURE
BRITISH LITERATURE
British literature is literature from the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. This literature is written in the English language, but there are also separate literatures in Latin, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Cornish, Manx, Jèrriais, Guernésiais and other languages. Northern Ireland is the only part of Ireland still part of the United Kingdom and the literature is also in English, Ulster Scots and Irish. Irish writers have also played an important part in the development of English-language literature.
Old English or Anglo Saxon Era
English Literature, literature produced in England, from the introduction of Old English by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century to the present. This period extends from about 450 to 1066, the year of the Norman-French conquest of England. The earliest known English poem is a hymn on the creation; Bede attributes this to Cædmon (fl. 658–680), who was, according to legend, an illiterate herdsman who produced extemporaneous poetry at a monastery at Whitby. This is generally taken as marking the beginning of Anglo-Saxon poetry. Much of the poetry of the period is difficult to date, or even to arrange chronologically; for example, estimates for the date of the great epic Beowulf.Beowulf is both the first English literary masterpiece and one of the earliest European epics written in the vernacular, or native language, instead of literary Latin. It was owned by Sir Robert cotton. Sir Robert bound Beowulf with four other MSS in a combined codex known as Cotton MS.Vitellius A.xv between the 8th century and the late 10th century. Beowulf, the rousing Old English poem of man and monster.
The haunted mere is one of the poems of Beowulf lines 1308-1382, it was translated by Allan Sullivan and Timothy Murphy, now in the Longmans Anthology of British Literature. This excerpt was published on this site in 1999 by permission of the authors
