Over at The Silver Key, our friend Brian Murphy posted a review of Rings, Swords, and Monsters, a Modern Scholar course taught by Michael D.C. Drout. I’m a big fan of Drout’s – I thoroughly enjoyed this course, and his science fiction course (From Here to Infinity: An Exploration of Science Fiction Literature) as well.

(NOTE: Actually, the entire review can be found at The Cimmerian.)

His Anglo-Saxon history/lit course is really good — not too much for the person who’s never heard of Old English, yet full of good stuff even for people who are fairly familiar with all the topics treated. And of course there’s all kinds of good stuff if you love Beowulf, Tolkien, etc.
Thanks for the shout-out, Scott!
