R.M. Liuzza's translation of Beowulf, first published by Broadview
in 1999, has been widely praised for its accuracy and beauty. The
facing-page 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.
