The 56th Annual
BEOWULF MARATHON

UC BERKELEY
FRIDAY, 30 APRIL 3PM
330 WHEELER HALL (English Department Lounge)
Sponsored by: Graduate Medievalists at Berkeley

Come join the thriving community of UC Berkeley medievalists as we gather
together and read BEOWULF as it was meant to be read: aloud, straight
through, and . . . with beer.

Attendees can choose to participate in reading the Old English, or just
sitting and listening (all skill levels welcome!).  Refreshments will be provided
(not just beer); all are welcome to attend for part or for the entirety of the event (it
usually lasts 3 1/2 hours). If you own a copy of the text, please bring it.
Otherwise, additional ones should be available for sharing.

Please spread the word to anyone interested.

Hope to see you there!

A dose of medieval . . .

Frige mec frodum wordum!         Ne læt þinne ferð onhælne,
degol þæt þu deopost cunne!         Nelle ic þe min dyrne gesecgan,
gif þu me þinne hygecræft hylest         ond þine heortan geþohtas.

 

Maxims I, ll. 1-3
