Scotland-born professor Charles W. Dunn (1915–2006) recites multiple interpretations of various literary passages, psalms, hymns, and legends in three chronological versions of the English language: Old, Middle, and Early Modern. Dunn concludes the album by retelling portions of the legend of King Arthur, Guinevere, and the Knights of the Round Table in different versions of English. He begins with a 12th-century Latin translation of “Arthur’s Feast at Caerleon,” and ends with a Modern English retelling of King Arthur’s demise. Background information and complete transcripts for all tracks are included in the liner notes.
