The story of English begins in Holland, where there are ancestral echoes in the<br />

Frisian dialect. Tells of the survival of the English language as it weathers<br />

Viking and Norman invasions, vying with and, eventually, absorbing rival<br />

tongues. Lively settings such as village pubs and markets bring home the lasting<br />

influence of Anglo-Saxon, Old Norse, and Old French. Explores the link between<br />

Christianity, Latin and an alphabet, as well as, the role of King Alfred the<br />

Great as the first champion of the language. Nobel prize-winning poet, Seamus<br />

Heaney, reads from and discusses the first epic in English, Beowulf. Includes<br />

select archival footage.<br />
