Explanatory notes drawing on archaeological sources.. Prose translation., New, up-to-date bibliography which should give this edition another twenty years of life. Excellent, scholarly introduction which focusses on the values and social relevance of the poem. Explanatory notes drawing on archaeological sources. Prose translation., "Beowulf" is the oldest example of vernacular literature of any substance in Western Europe. Since its rediscovery and the appearance of the first printed editions in the middle of the 19th century, it has attracted considerable scholarly attention. This edition contains explanatory notes, drawing on archaeological sources, which expand on the poet's more esoteric allusions and offer background information on contemporary manners and customs. A prose translation faces the text, which should be of use to both students and the general reader.
