About this episode
<p>A conversation with my dad about a great medieval adventure story originally written in middle English and updated and translated into modern English by Simon Armitage. Dad talks about the origin of this story, its connection to the history of the English language, and the poetic devices used in the writing. In the second half I read a summarised version of the story and some verses from Armitage's modernised version.</p><p>👉 Episode page with intro & ending scripts, story summary & more information <a href="https://wp.me/p4IuUx-rhs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wp.me/p4IuUx-rhs</a> </p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
