Add to basketPaperback. Condition: Good. Vintage Penguin. #L70. David Wrightâs Beowulf is one of the most admired modern verse translationsâ"vigorous, lean, and deliberately close to the spirit rather than the letter of the Old English. Wright avoids archaism and instead gives the poem a taut, muscular clarity that reads almost like a stark…adventure narrative while still carrying the weight of myth. You feel the cold seas, the mead-hallâs glow, the dread of Grendel, and the sombre fatalism that runs through the poem. Wrightâs ear for cadence keeps the alliterative pulse alive without forcing it, making the story accessible but never bland. If you want a Beowulf thatâs readable, dramatic, and faithful to the poemâs emotional core, Wrightâs version is one of the standouts.

Add to basketpaperback. Condition: Acceptable. Beowulf, in David Wrightâs modern translation, retells the legendary tale of a heroic Geatish warrior who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar. Beowulf defeats the monstrous Grendel and later Grendelâs vengeful mother, earning fame and honor. Years afterward, as an aging king, he faces a… final battle against a deadly dragon. The poem explores themes of heroism, fate, loyalty, and the tension between glory and mortality. Text contains annotation.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A first impression of the first edition published in 1976 - an anthology that sets out to present poems that illustrate, describe, or otherwise record daily life in Britain. ***A near fine copy in maroon cloth-covered boards, with silver titles and… decoration to the spine. The boards are clean and unmarked. No serious bumps or creases - just slight creasing to the top and tail of the spine, and a slight crease to the top edge of the front board. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges just lightly foxed. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions or annotations. Produced using nice quality paper with no marks, creases or tears. Pages clean. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of £6.95 net. The dustwrapper has no obvious faults, just the slightest of rubbing at the extremities. No chips, creases or tears. No fading. ***203mm x 138mm. 542 pages including a Select Bibliography, Index of authors, and Index of Titles and First Lines at the back of the book. ***'"The Penguin Book of Everyday Verse is a new kind of anthology. It sets out to present poems that illustrate, describe, or otherwise record daily life in Britain - poetry that is everyday or documentary in the sense that it depicts the habits, customs, behaviour, manners and environment of people of all classes as they go about their workaday affairs. As poetry so often gives more vivid, compact and immediate an impression of actuality than prose description, the anthology is among other things a lively documentary record full of insights into British social life at different periods from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the twentieth century.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A first impression of the first edition of this interesting anthology - in near fine condition. A very comprehensive anthology of poetry concerning everyday life over the centuries. Quite uncommon - many copies seem to have ended up in lending libraries. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
