Crazy because I am learning Old English and those studies led me to this book, because I was advised that the story was of Walter of Aquitaine was unmissable. And it was! Perhaps if I pay excellent attention to the facing page translation I might pick up Latin. I recommend this great book from this awesome boutique publisher. ]]> Review7557745442 Sat, 10 May 2025 07:36:20 -0700 /review/show/7557745442 Lisa gave 5 stars to Beowulf: Translation and Commentary (Hardcover) by Tom Shippey
I am currently reading and translating this poem, like many before me, and this book has been invaluable, obviously the translation by the wonderful Tom Shippey is excellent but also the references and notes have been extremely useful. I like the way they appear section by section so you can find the relevant information as you go along. I have a large number of Beowulfs and this is already a hot favourite. Get this one. ]]> AuthorFollowing109022559 Sat, 10 May 2025 07:36:19 -0700 Review7557745442 Sat, 10 May 2025 07:32:16 -0700 /review/show/7557745442 Lisa gave 5 stars to Beowulf: Translation and Commentary (Hardcover) by Tom Shippey
