Description
Beowulf Translation and Commentary by Leonard Neidorf This comprehensive translation and commentary of the epic poem Beowulf brings to life a magnificent world of history and fantasy. Composed around 700 A.D., Beowulf is the first great epic poem in the English language, telling the story of a hero's fight against monsters set against a complex background of political intrigue and tribal warfare. The translation, guided by a lifetime of engagement with the poem, makes the story clearer and more compelling than ever before. The volume includes the original Old English text, an extensive commentary, and a range of supplementary materials, including a bibliography, translator's preface, and an essay by Tom Shippey on the relationship between Beowulf and J.R.R. Tolkien.
