Title: I never realized...
Product review: I have tried to read Beowulf a few times in a few different translations. Since 11th grade (I won't say how long ago that was), I had been looking for someone to give it the oomph that my English teacher had in reading it to us and helping us to understand it. Mr. Heaney has done just that.I'm not a scholar of the poem, so I don't know how closely it resembles the original, but I can tell you that I understood it and enjoyed it more than I have in years. To ... a tired old quote "If you read only one translation of Beowulf this year, this is it!"
