Excerpt from Cædmon: The First English Poet This attempt to make the life and works of the First English Poet more widely known springs from the interest taken in the subject by an English Language and Literature Class of Men and Women which I conducted for some years at the Literary and Philosophical Society in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Lecturing upon 'Cædmon' afterwards to the members of the Society, I found that the idea of an English Literature prior to Chaucer was new to many of my hearers. It is not creditable to us that we should know so little about the Founders of our Literature. I am conscious of the imperfections of my work, which has had to be completed in the rare and brief intervals of a busy professional life.
