I teach World Literature I to freshman/sophomore college students. This video shows them the power of the ancient bard/scop. The verbal duel between Unferth and Beowulf is amazing, and I can only describe the mourning wail after Grendel's first attack on Heorot as "haunting."



Bagby does an incredible job, and if he ever performs this close to Oklahoma, I'm there.



I highly recommend this not only to Beowulf lovers but also to teachers.
