Posted on October 29, 2023 by Nathan

I first learned about Genesis B through Alice K. Turner’s The History of Hell. It’s an Old English poem included in a longer one called, not surprisingly, Genesis A. Of course, that wasn’t what people called them at the time. They … Continue reading →

Posted on February 6, 2022 by Nathan
