This felt like walking through the door in the middle of a conversation, being very entertained, but still not having a clue what's going on. I don't know a lot about this period of time, or the the battle of Maldon, and was hoping the essays would provide a little bit of clarity...They did about the language used but not the events within the text.
That's fine! It was still fun to listen to as Tolkien fan.

The alliterative verse is beautiful and it’s pleasant to hear Tolkien’s actual voice in this recording.
