Hardcover Print: $27.89 Beowulf, as translated by Francis B. Gummere. Hardcover edition:
Heroes, Kings, Monsters. Loyalty, sacrifice, kinship, culture clash. Allegory, symbols, tradition. Wergild!
Beowulf is historical fiction that embraces many universal themes and has entertained audiences for
generations. Its importance is literary, but the story also gives us a distinct glimpse into 7th century Anglo-Saxon culture.
The appeal of Beowulf easily spans these many many
years. These heroic themes are indeed universal and give us a little glimpse into ourselves as well.
