Translated by Francis Barton GUMMERE (1855 - 1919)
Beowulf. [Translated by Francis Barton
Gummere].This is a short but beautiful book, and the Gummere translation
really captures the feel of the Old English. Beowulf tells the story of
a mysterious young warrior who saves the Spear-Danes from the terrible
monster Grendel and his venomous mother. Long a mainstay of English
Literature 101 courses at universities around the world, it is not only
one of the oldest, but one of the most exciting English folktales ever
invented. (Summary by Caeristhiona)
