The old English poets Cynewulf and Caedmon, composed poems and verses on biblical and religious themes and highlighted the lives of saints and their doctrines. The Wanderer, Deor and The Seafarer are some of the well-known poems that were that were phrased in Old English language. Christian writers dealt with the pagan past with dexterity.

This age was here to create an impact on a world that lived in misconceptions and conceit, pretending to be fully aware of universal truths revolving around God, man and nature. The truth was indeed, not fully known, and innovation was yet to take wings in this age.
