Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)

Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)

Winner of the Whitbread Prize, Seamus Heaneyâ€™s 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. Heaneyâ€™s clear and insightful introduction to Beowulf provides students with an understanding of both the poemâ€™s history in the canon and Heaneyâ€™s own translation process.
