商品簡介
This new translation of Beowulf aims to closely render the original Anglo-Saxon while using a vocabulary that is accessible to contemporary readers. Puhvel (emeritus, English, McGill U.) begins with some background information on the poem, discussing the history of feud and warfare and exploring some of the story's religious elements. Explanatory notes are found at the back of the volume, along with a glossary of proper names, a map, genealogies, and suggestions for further reading.
