Beowulf Paperback - 1957
by Anonymous; David Wright (Translator); Introduction by David Wright
Summary
Beowulf stands at the head of English literature; a poem of historical interest and epic scope. Although the first manuscript of Beowulf dates from around the year 1000 CE, it is thought that the poem existed in its present form from the year 850. Beowulf's adventures themselves stand in front of the wide historical canvas of 5th and 6th century Scandinavia. Against this heroic background of feuding and feasting, Beowulf first kills the monster Grendel and her mother, and later defends his people against a dragon in a battle that leaves them both mortally wounded.
First line
HEAR! We know of the bygone glory of the Danish kings, and the heroic exploits of those princes.
