About this listen

One of the Modern Scholar's most popular lecturers, Professor Timothy B. Shutt of Kenyon College examines the contributions of the peoples of northern Europe through their vibrant literary legacy. As Professor Shutt's textual analysis reveals, Celtic and Germanic values shine through these works, exhibiting such characteristics as courage, self-control, and respect for women. As listeners will find, the legacy of the European Northlands formed a cultural pattern that continues to this day.

the lecturer was brilliant: having the sort of good humour that comes from being well informed. My sole criticism is that there was an excessive focus on Germanic sagas over Celtic ones. However this might be an artefact of of a greater number of surviving Germanic language documents. as a bonus the lecture seems aware of TV tropes since he uses the term shaggy dog story.

great performance
