Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

$9.90
Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem
Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

Monster-slaying legend at literature’s ancient roots

If you like your stories grand, strange, and full of heroic fire, Beowulf still feels thrilling centuries later. It gives you the raw thrill of battling monsters, but also the deeper weight of legacy, pride, and mortality. Readers often love how it feels both mythic and surprisingly human, with a stark, musical power that made it survive the ages.

Description

Beowulf—an Anglo-Saxon epic poem and one of the oldest surviving works of English literature—tells the tale of a legendary warrior and his battles with monsters in Scandinavia. The poem follows Beowulf's fight with Grendel in aid of the Danish king Hrothgar; his encounter with Grendel's mother; and, years later as king of Geatland, his final confrontation with a mighty dragon. A timeless and epic adventure, Beowulf remains a cornerstone of medieval literature.
