Perhaps the most important work written in Old English, Beowulf tells
of a world very different from our own. While the history and culture
behind the poem make it challenging for modern audiences, its story
of war, violence, and heroism remains relevant to modern readers.
Though largely neglected until the 20th century, Beowulf is now widely
studied by high school students and undergraduates. In addition, it
continues to shape contemporary popular culture. This companion
overviews the poem and its legacy.
The first part of the book provides information of interest to a wide range
of readers, while the second covers more specialized topics. Thus the
initial chapters review the merits of different translations and offer a
detailed plot summary, while later chapters discuss the poem s language
and style, its treatment of religion, its relation to Anglo-Saxon culture,
and its legacy in popular culture. One of the greatest Beowulf scholars
was J.R.R. Tolkien, and the book gives special attention to his use of the
poem in his own fiction. High school students, undergraduates, and
general readers will find this book a valuable guide to one of the most
challenging yet enduring works of English literature.
