    Beowulf is the longest and finest literary work to have come down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, and one of the world's greatest epic poems. Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendel's infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf's own kingdom, Geatland, isthreatened by a fiery dragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon.The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulf's selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny Introduction; A Note on the Text and Translation; Select Bibliography; Time Chart; Genealogical Tables; Map: The World of Beowulf; BEOWULF; The Fight at Finnsburh; Explanatory Notes; Who's Who
