Reviews
There are lots of translations of Beowulf floating around, some prose, some poetry, but none manages to capture the feel and tone of the original as well as this one....A very impressive and sometimes inspired piece of work. It fills a need and fills it admirably., No self-respecting college professor will want his students to be without it....Renditions in modern English haven't taken the poetry of the original very seriously--but what a shock now that someone has! With the subtle rules of alliteration, stress, and pause in place--and with a translator bold enough to invent his own vigorous and imaginative compound nouns--the poem suddenly takes flight and carries us to the highest mountains of achievement., [This] translation is a truly splendid job....The verse flows with little punctuation but entire clarity., Reads very well and comes to life, especially when read aloud....It will have a permanent place among Beowulf translations.
