Winner of the Whitbread Prize, Seamus Heaneys translation accomplishes what before now had seemed impossible: a faithful rendering that is simultaneously an original and gripping poem in its own right (New York Times Book Review).
The translation that rides boldly through the reefs of scholarship (The Observer) is combined with first-rate annotation. No reading knowledge of Old English is assumed. Heaneys clear and insightful introduction to Beowulf provides students with an understanding of both the poems history in the canon and Heaneys own translation process.Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)
