Description
They say that not all those who wander are lost. Well, two of the most famous poems of the Anglo-Saxon era are about wandering and seeking. We'll discuss "The Wanderer" and "The Seafarer" from the Exeter Book, which not only take us into the minds of the seekers, but also show us evidence of the tremendous changes afoot as England begins to embrace the Christian religion.Support the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google, or wherever you listen.
