Mark Atherton’s course moves from foundational grammar and vocabulary toward reading authentic Old English material, including selections such as *Beowulf* and an early version of the Lord’s Prayer. Its 22 learning units combine language instruction with cultural context on Anglo-Saxon religion and society. Self-tests and activities provide opportunities to check progress, while online audio supports pronunciation. Maps, a verb guide, and an appendix of key set texts add reference material for study. The book is presented for use in a classroom or independently.
