The Norton Anthology of English Literature Audio Companion

The 2-CD Audio Companion provides readings and performances that cannot be duplicated readily in the classroom. The selections are of four kinds: poems read by the authors themselves from Tennyson to Heaney and Walcott; passages of Old English and Middle English poems, read by experts in the pronunciation of those languages; poems in Scots dialect and poems written in sprung rhythm; and performances of poems set to music. Includes "Caedmon's Hymn;" "Beowulf;" "The Battle of Maldon;" "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight;" "The Canterbury Tales (selections) ;" "The Cuckoo Song;" "Oh Mistress Mine;" "Fain Would I Wed;" "Song;" "Break of Day;" "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time;" and many other selections from The Norton Anthology of English Literature.
