BEOWULF

Before there was Game of Thrones, there was Beowulf...  SONG OF BATTLE AND KINGS  Beowulf is one of the earliest extant poems in a modern European language, composed in England before the Norman Conquest. As a social document this great epic poem is invaluable—reflecting a feudal world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory, life and death. As a work of art, it is unique. Beowulf rings with beauty, power, and artistry that have kept it alive for a thousand years. The noble simplicity of Beowulf's anonymous Anglo-Saxon singer is recaptured in this vivid translation by Burton Raffel.  Translated and with an Introduction by Burton Raffel and an Afterword by Roberta Frank ISBN-10: 0451530969 Poetry, Medieval, European, English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Epic Edition: 1 Pages: 176 Dimensions: 10.64 x 1.12 x 17.15 cm Weight: 0.089 kg
