Kevin Crossley-Holland (transl.)
Translated by Kevin Crossley-Holland. Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Heather O'Donoghue.
The finest literary work passed down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, "Beowulf" celebrates the existence of heroism in a dark world of feuds, violence, and uncertainty. Set in the legendary Scandinavian past, Beowulf comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing the terrifying monster Grendel and its vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf courageously prepares for another great battle when a fiery dragon threatens his own kingdom. This acclaimed translation contains a critical introduction, a full index of names, and extensive notes.
