Description

Beowulf: A New Translation by Maria Dahvana Headley

A radical new verse translation of the epic poem, bringing to light elements that have never before been translated into English. This version recontextualizes the tale, blurring the lines between monsters and heroes, and challenging traditional notions of justice and power.

With a novelist's eye, Headley brings a fresh perspective to this ancient story, exploring themes of entitlement, encroachment, and the pursuit of justice. A powerful and thought-provoking translation that sheds new light on a story.
