Beowulf

Prof Iam Pompous's picture

Greetings,

Considering our recent discussion of Beowulf, I thought list members might enjoy reading a review of two of the latest translations of that classic. They are _Beowulf: A New Verse Translation_ by Seamus Heaney and _Beowulf: A New Verse Translation_ by R.M. Liuzza.  The reviewer is Frank Kermode in a piece titled "The Geat of Geats" in the July 20, 2000 edition of the _New York Review of Books_. It's available online at http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2000/jul/20/
