Modern Bards

Also, in case anyone wants a succinct background on Beowulf, this does a nice job on the first third or so.

  1. Fun, although I'd have liked to have heard some acknowledgment that the Heany-wulf has a fascinating but undeniably anachronistic modern Irish political bent to it. Still, for a rap video on Youtube, the analysis wasn't bad. The writer is clearly familiar not just with the text, but the surrounding context, which is always nice.
