Presents an annotated text of the saga of the hero Beowulf, slayer of the monster Grendel, and includes backgrounds and sources, as well as critical commentary.
Fusing pagan and Christian components, this ancient epic presents an extremely vibrant depiction of old Germanic life. When you read this, you realize what a tremendous influence it has had on subsequent monster literature (Tolkien et al.). ( )
If the reader further accepts, as I do, the idea that the poet was here presenting his personal elegy for the demise of an old and in many ways admirable tradition at the moment when it was giving into and merging its best qualities with a new one, then Beowulf as a character grows less and less puzzling and begins to make very good sense indeed.

This LT Work is a Norton Critical Edition of the epic poem, Beowulf, in the Donaldson Translation and edited by Joseph E. Tuso. Please do not combine it either with alternate versions of the Norton Critical Edition (e.g., the Seamus Heaney Translation, edited by Daniel Donoghue) or with the LT Work for the original poem itself. This is the first NCE edition of the Donaldson translation edited by Joseph F. Tuso. Please do not combine with the 2nd NCE edition edited by Nicholas Howe as the critical contents are entirely different. Thank you.
This is the Norton Critical Edition of Beowulf.
