Hey guys. This would be a topic for discussion of Old English. I thought there was one made a while back, but couldn't find it. Post your thoughts on the subject: methods and resources for learning, or questions if you're wanting to know more about it!

Recently I came across A Guide to Old English by Bruce Mitchell and Fred C. Robinson, and, compared to four or five other OE grammars bought previously, I've found that the book does an excellent job of presenting and organizing information--the different declensions and classes and the numerous variants amongst them, as well as OE syntax. Also, it contains an extensive bibliography and a glossary for determining gender, declension, and class in nouns and verbs. And in addition to this, it's really a textbook, so the second half includes a wide selection of prose and verse (translations and commentary too!). Ic lufie hit.
Has anyone else encountered this grammar before?
