Article on Tolkien and Old English

I found this article on Tolkien's use of Old English words. Notice that they don't only appear in the part of the book dealing with Rohan, but they are most concentrated there.

We're going to focus on the Riders of Rohan as a re-vision of the Anglo-Saxons. If you have a chance before class, skim over the start of Beowulf before class (I'll be handing it out in class as well).
