Description

Published in 2021, this edition of "Beowulf" is a translation by J. Lesslie Hall, first published in 1897. The epic poem tells the story of Beowulf, a hero who comes to the aid of the Danes to save their land from a human-demon monster named Grendel.

After defeating Grendel, Beowulf must then kill Grendel's mother and later faces a dragon that attacks his kingdom. The poem explores the traditions and culture of the people who lived in Scandinavia at the time, highlighting the strong connections within kinship societies and the complex relationships between paganism and monotheistic Christianity.

This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes a preface and annotations by J. Lesslie Hall, providing insight into the translator's work and the historical context of the poem.
