Y12 English Taster Session

English: ‘Tell Me What I Am’ – Reading Some Old English Riddles

In this taster session, I will introduce you to some of the oldest writings in English. We will think about some of the differences – and similarities – between poetry written in the past and poetry written today, and we will investigate what these ancient texts can tell us about the people who wrote and read them.

This session will be of interest to anyone thinking about studying English Literature at university.

Led by Dr Annie Sutherland, Professor of Medieval Literature and Tutor in Old and Middle English.

The deadline for sign-ups is 8am on Monday 10 February. More detailed descriptions of all sessions can be found on the Somerville College website.
