Old English language/literature is called Anglo-Saxon.Based on my opinion, Old English literature have some specific characteristics, such as :First, The Writer is unknown such as in Beowulf Second, The writen almost can not be readThird, Always describe Heroism or Adventure of a certain person (Ex: Hercules, Robinhood), Religious Event (Genesis A & GenesisB), and Romance (Ex: Romeo & Juliet).Fourth, Old Western Civilization is the dominant object.
