| | 1. |  | Beowulf (Signet Classics)
from Signet Classics
Price: $4.95
Customer Review:
This book is absolutely terrible! Everyone's grandmother would be ashamed to know the language they use. It seems like a rated r book. A very disgusting read, so much talk about this person named Grendel who is portrayed as a cannibal. There is so much talk about blood and bones, ugh! Save yourself... more info

| | 3. |  | 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

| | 4. |  | Beowulf (Broadview Literary Texts Series)
from Broadview Press
Price: $12.56
Customer Review:
As good as the Heaney is in presenting Beowulf as a sublime work of art, this more humble work of scholarship deserves equal applause for meticulously faithful rendering the original text. Indulge in Heaney, but fly to Liuzza for the Beowulf that needs no interpretation and no embellishment.

| | 5. |  | Beowulf the Warrior (Living History Library)
from Bethlehem Books
Price: $9.95
Customer Review:
This handy edition of Beowulf has the virtue of being easily approachable by an average reader, whereas some of the other translations I've seen have almost been like reading the original Anglo-Saxon itself. The translation reads easily yet retains the flavor and rhythms of the ancient epic.more info

| | 6. |  | Beowulf (Dover Thrift Editions)
from Dover Publications
Price: $2.50
Customer Review:
I wanted to read Beowulf before seeing the movie, so I decided to listen to this audio edition of it, and I really liked it. It has all the elements of a great fantasy story such as great heroes and kings and horrible monsters. The performance by Robertson Dean was excellent. His voice matched the... more info

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

| | 8. |  | The Earliest English Poems (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.70
Customer Review:
One of the characteristic aspects of Old English/Anglo-Saxon poetry is that it is highly alliterative; done in short measures with a break (the most common pattern), the use of alliteration can almost drive one to distraction until one gets into the rhythm and process of the metrical sounds.more info
