Shelved in Case 0. Seamus Heany was born April 13, 1939 Castledawson, North Ireland, the eldest of nine children born to parents who exemplified to him the dichotomy of a Gaelic past and industrialized present and future, ideas which would influence Heany's own life. Having a long and successful career as a poet and professor, Heany would eventually take on the task of writing a translation of "Beowulf" which would come to be "Beowulf: A New Verse Translation" in 1999. "Beowulf: A New Verse Translation" would release to mixed, though almost entirely positive reviews, many hailing its beautiful prose and critics mostly critiquing his use of a Northern Irish dialect as detracting from the original poem. The work would earn the 1999 Whitbread Book of the Year Award, repeating Heany's win in 1996 with "The Spirit Level" 1390087. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 1390087

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elegiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scandinavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then returns to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on in the exhausted aftermath. In the contours of this story, at once remote and uncannily familiar at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to the poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the "four-squareness of the utterance" in ?Beowulf? and its immense emotional credibility, Heaney gives these epic qualities new and convincing reality for the contemporary reader.

Cr�ticas:

"[Heaney is] the one living poet who can rightly claim to be the 'Beowulf' poet's heir." --Edward Melson, The New York Times Book Review
