Beowulf: A New Verse Translation

Beowulf: A New Verse Translation

Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the classic Northern epic of a hero's triumphs as a young warrior and his fated death as a defender of his people. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on, physically and psychically exposed in the exhausted aftermath. It is not hard to draw parallels in this story to the historical curve of consciousness in the twentieth century, but the poem also transcends such considerations, telling us psychological and spiritual truths that are permanent and liberating. In his new translation, Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney has produced a work that is both true, line by line, to the original poem and a fundamental expression of his own creative gift. A New York Times bestseller, winner of the Whitbread Award. more

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-18-2009; Beowulf: A New Verse Translation (Bilingual Edition); The product was needed for school. Book was in great condition and great price. Shipping by US post office was like everything else in the government SLOW!; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Aug-09-2009; Heaney's translation of Beowulf--Old English not included; The translation is beautiful, and the poem epic.

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-25-2009; Hidden political propaganda by Heaney?; So Heaney won the Noble prize? Then I guess this translation of Beowulf must be politically correct (PC).

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-03-2005; not exactily unabridged; If you are following along in the book, by Seamus Heaney, sometimes entire pages are cut out. Its not just the unimportant stuff either. It is still a good CD and translation but its not exactly what it says it is.; read full review | report as inappropriate
