NDM English Notes, Ep. 6: Old English "The Dream of the Rood" and "The Ruin"; Dichotomy - a podcast by Nathan Melander

A discussion about how the Old English or Anglo-Saxon Poems "Dream of the Rood" and "The Ruin" look back at ancient history relics and artifacts to find meaning. Each poem shows a dichotomy both within and between themselves. They see a better past than the present, but one finds inspiration and the other a sense of loss.
