Enter the shadowed halls of the earliest English legend, where loyalty and fame matter more than life itself. Night closes in over seas. Benjamin Thorpe’s renowned rendering gathers together the old English epic poetry of Beowulf with 'The Scop or Gleeman’s Tale' and 'The Fight at Finnesburg', a classic heroic verse collection that immerses readers in Anglo Saxon warrior culture, dark age Denmark and Geats, and an early medieval Scandinavia setting haunted by heroic monsters and feuds, sea-kings and doomed halls.A pioneering Anglo Saxon poetry translation by one of the nineteenth century’s leading scholars, this Beowulf annotated study edition balances literal accuracy with stark, powerful rhythm, making the beowulf dragon battle story and its world accessible for students, general readers, and lovers of classic myth alike. Long recognised as a cornerstone of old English literature and a key source for Norse and Germanic mythology, it is perfect for fans of Tolkien and for anyone drawn to stark heroism, tragic courage, and the deep roots of the English imagination. It serves equally well as Beowulf for students and as a vivid introduction for curious new readers.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure.
