Roshni Narasimhan ?The Wanderer?, ?The Seafarer?, and ?The Wife?s Lament? The Anglo-Saxon era of England lasted from 449 to 1066 AD. In the fifth century, German tribes conquered Britain, carrying with them the Old English language and poetic tradition. The Old English poems were called elegies; they were usually mournful and reflected on loss and suffering. These works are imitative of the miserable and burdened lives lived by the Anglo-Saxons themselves. ?The Wanderer?, ?The Seafarer?, and ?The Wife?s Lament? are elegies that are similar in their depiction of the societal structure of Anglo-Saxons but different in how they portray paganism and Christianity.
