He then returns to his own country & dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, & then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote & uncannily familiar at the end of the 20th century, Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in "Beowulf" & its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new & convincing reality for the contemporary reader. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "Heaney has turned to Beowulf & the result is magnificent, breathtaking . . . Heaney has created something imperishable & great that is stainless - stainless, because its force as poetry makes it untouchable by the claw of literalism: it lives singly, as an English-language poem." - James Wood, the Guardian * ABOUT THE TRANSLATOR: The late Seamus Heaney received the Nobel Prize in literature in 1995. A resident of Dublin (after 1976), he taught regularly at Harvard University. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a nominal additional fee & via efficient USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL to all international shipments at our posted rates.
