These are such beautiful readings. I'd be so glad if you uploaded more from Beowulf- I'm a novice to Old English and slowly working my way through the saga as a way to understand pronunciation and expand my vocab. Your recordings of lines 1-114 have been incredibly useful.

I was hoping to find the pronunciation for “ðryðswyð” on line 131. Looks like it was just a bit too far from the end of this video.
Great videos though. I remember back when I was in 11th grade, our English teacher had us memorize the first 11 lines. I guess it made me appreciate knowing how to read this, but I’m nowhere near understanding it.
