Overview

Beowulf, composed around 700 A.D., is the first great epic poem in the English language. It tells the timeless story of a hero's fight against monsters and sets it against a complex background of political intrigue and tribal warfare. Situated in sixth-century Scandinavia, the poem brings to life a magnificent world that fuses history with fantasy. Tom Shippey's new translation of Beowulf, reflecting a lifetime of engagement with the poem, makes its story clearer and more compelling than it has ever been. The original Old English text of Beowulf is included along with an extensive and innovative commentary, which guides the reader passage-by-passage through the poem and its criticism. In addition to the text, translation, and commentary, this volume contains an extensive bibliography, a translator's preface, and an appended essay by Tom Shippey on "Tolkien and Beowulf—A Lifelong Involvement." "This extraordinary volume is both the perfect book for the first-time reader of Beowulf and essential reading for all scholars." -Francis Leneghan, University of Oxford "Anyone working with Beowulf will want to read this book, especially the rich, extensive, and up-to-date commentary." -Marijane Osborn, University of California, Davis "The translation is cogent, and the commentary is illuminating...Anyone interested in Beowulf needs this book." -Joseph Harris, Harvard University
