Description: Beowulf Translated, and With an Introduction By Burton RaffelISBN: 0-451-62795-4Condition: Acceptable. Both front and back cover have heavy creases. Edges of pages have minor tears but are still readable and clean. Binding is broken-in but retains good integrity. Song of Wars & Kings Beowulf is the earliest extant poem in a modern European language. It was composed in England four centuries before the Norman Conquest. As a social document this great epic poem is invaluable, reflecting a feudal, newly Christian world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory and death. As a work of art it is quite unique; Beowulf rings with a beauty, power and artistry that have kept it alive for more than twelve centuries. The noble simplicity of Beowulf's anonymous Anglo-Saxon singer is recaptured once more in a vivid new translation by Burton Raffel. "Not long after Homer was fortunate enough to find Richmond Lattimore for his Iliad and Robert Fitzgerald for his Odyssey, the Old English poet found Raffel for his Beowulf. ...Raffel is a poet. Every page of his Beowulf declares this truth."
