Title: Masterpiece Rediscovered
Product review: I hadn't read Beowulf since college, and while I remembered the epic to be a magnificent piece of art, I had forgotten (or maybe just discovered through Heaney's translation) how beautiful it really is. The translation is superbly written--the alliteration is exquisite. I enjoyed the foreword almost as much as the poem itself! For more fun, or if you're studying Old English, compare the translation (on the right) with the original (on the left)--Great read no matter what your gender or age!
