Description
Before the epic tales of modern fantasy, there existed Beowulf, one of the earliest extant poems in a modern European language.
Composed in England before the Norman Conquest, this great poem reflects a feudal world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory, life and death. Its beauty, power, and artistry have kept it alive for a thousand years.
This translation by Burton Raffel brings to light the noble simplicity of Beowulf's anonymous Anglo-Saxon singer, offering a vivid glimpse into a bygone era.
