his is a short but beautiful book, and
e Gummere translation really captures
e feel of the Old English. Beowulf tells
e story of a mysterious young warrior
ho saves the Spear-Danes from the
errible monster Grendel and his
venomous mother. Long a mainstay of
English Literature 101 courses at
universities around the world, it is not
only one of the oldest, but one of the
most exciting English folktales ever
invented.
