What Members Thought

This consists of three Middle English poems, translated by J.R.R. Tolkien into Modern English. The three are very different in content and style, with the first capturing an Arthurian tale with a mix of alliteration and rhyme, the second being a religious visionary poem, and the third a retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus as a medieval tale.
In short, fun!
