A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the
acclaimed novel The Mere Wife. A man seeks to prove himself as a
hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to
avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. This radical new
verse translation of Beowulf by Maria Dahvana Headley brings to
light elements that have never before been translated into English.
The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist's
eye toward gender, genre, and history it has always been a tale of
entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more
powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this
version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her
contemporary adaptation of Beowulf, Headley unearthed significant
shifts lost over centuries, transforming the binary narrative of
monsters and heroes into a thrilling tale in which the two
categories often entwine.
