R.M. Liuzza's translation of Beowulf, first published by Broadview
in 1999, has been widely praised for its accuracy and beauty. The
translation is accompanied in this edition by genealogical charts,
historical summaries, and a glossary of proper names. Historical
appendices include related legends, stories, and religious writings
from both Christian and Anglo-Saxon traditions. These texts help
readers to see Beowulf as an exploration of the politics of
kingship and the psychology of heroism, and as an early English
meditation on the bridges and chasms between the pagan past and the
Christian present. Appendices also include a generous sample of
other modern translations of Beowulf, shedding light on the process
of translating the poem. This new edition features an updated
introduction and an expanded section of material on Christianity
and paganism.
