THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD
Although the Anglo-Saxon were converted to Christianity, the theme of their heroic poem The Song of Beowulf deals with the strong and courageous pagan hero Beowulf. It was composed after 700 A.D. and is preserved in the well-known Cotton Manuscript. The King of Wessex Alfred the Great (849-901) was as well a writer. He wanted to educate his people and so translated the Ecclesiastical History of England written in Latin by Venerable Bede.
