This bilingual edition presents Seamus Heaney’s celebrated translation of the Anglo-Saxon epic alongside the original Old English text. Through his rhythmic, earthy verse, Heaney revitalizes the ancient narrative of the Geatish hero Beowulf and his legendary battles against Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the dragon. The volume serves as both a scholarly resource and a masterful work of modern literature, capturing the stark, heroic spirit of early medieval Scandinavia.
