Description
Beowulf is an Old English poem that tells the story of a young Geatish hero's struggle with three deadly foes. In this unique and compelling tale, historical events, Christian commentary, Germanic myth, and Anglo-Saxon culture blend together.
The poem has been preserved in a tenth-century manuscript and presented here in a dual-text format, featuring a new translation by multi-award-winning translator J.G. Nichols. This edition offers a fresh perspective on this important work of literature.
