Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Epic Poem

The present work is a modest effort to reproduce approximately, in modern measures, the venerable epic, Beowulf. Approximately, I repeat; for a very close reproduction of anglo-saxon verse would, to a large extent, be prose to a modern ear.
