Beowulf is an epic poem that tells the story of a heroic warrior named Beowulf who travels to Denmark to help King Hrothgar defeat a monster named Grendel. Beowulf is known for his strength and bravery, and he proves himself in battle against Grendel and later against Grendel's mother. The second half of the poem takes place many years later when Beowulf is an old king and must face a dragon that threatens his people. The poem explores themes of heroism, loyalty, and the passing of time. This edition of Beowulf is translated by Francis B.
