Beowulf
2013
Book
The Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf is brought to life by American poet Meghan Purvis in a vigorous, contemporary translation. Written across a range of poetic forms and voices, this rendering captures the thrust and gore of battle, the sinister fens and moorlands of Dark Age Denmark, and the treasures and glories of the mead-hall. Combining faithful translation with innovative versions and poems from alternative viewpoints, Purvis has created an exciting new interpretation of Beowulf full of verve and the bristle of language.
