This is an absolutely superb translation of Beowulf. So so engaging. Particularly love Beowulf absolutely tearing someone to pieces for doubting him on one probably feasible occasion. Hilarious.
Also LOVED the fact that the women weren’t just shiny things/reasons only for gratuitous violence!!!!!! Please read this
