Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $13.25

Customer Review:

I had already bought Heaney's "A New Verse Translation" before I needed to buy this edition for a university class. That said, if you're only looking for a translation of the poem with no frills, buy the "New Verse Translation" because it's got the text in parallel with the original Anglo-Saxon. But... more info

Beowulf: A New Verse Translation
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $16.50

Customer Review:

This is such a beautiful translation of the story of Beowulf that all others pale by comparison. Seamus Heaney outdoes himself in his choices and combinations of words that convey more than meaning. They convey emotion, imagery, sound. The dragon "rippled down the rock, writhing with anger" and it... more info

Beowulf (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $9.95

Customer Review:

I own, and have read, a couple of dozen translations of "Beowulf," and have probably read half that many more; and that is a fraction of those published. Despite suggestions on the Amazon page that this version by Charles Kennedy is a new, or at least recent, translation, it is not one of the... more info

Once much maligned in the critical tradition, the Middle English romances are gradually recovering their respectability as a field of study as more and more scholars pay skillful and thoughtful attention to them.
