The acclaimed verse translation of the timeless epic tale of bravery and battle--the enduring saga of the hero Beowulf and the monster Grendel--the first true masterpiece of English literature.

"No self-respecting college professor will want his students to be without it....Renditions in modern English haven't taken the poetry of the original very seriously--but what a shock now that someone has! With the subtle rules of alliteration, stress, and pause in place--and with a translator bold enough to invent his own vigorous and imaginative compound nouns--the poem suddenly takes flight and carries us to the highest mountains of achievement." --Booklist

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The acclaimed verse translation of the timeless epic tale of bravery and battlethe enduring saga of the hero Beowulf and the monster Grendelthe first true masterpiece of English literature.There are lots of translations of Beowulf floating around, some prose, some poetry, but none manages to capture the feel and tone of the original as well as this one. Dick Ringler, Professor of English and Scandinavian Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison"No self-respecting college professor will want his students to be without it. . . . Renditions in modern English haven't taken the poetry of the original very seriouslybut what a shock now that someone has! With the subtle rules of alliteration, stress, and pause in placeand with a translator bold enough to invent his own vigorous and imaginative compound nounsthe poem suddenly takes flight and carries us to the highest mountains of achievement." (Booklist) A new translation of the first narrative poem in the English language closely follows the original poetic form and includes an introduction that discusses the poem's historical background, structure, form, principal characters, religion, and importance. Reprint. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780060573782
