Beowulf: A Verse Translation by Seamus Heaney
Accomplishes what before now had seemed impossible: a faithful rendering that is simultaneously an original and gripping poem in its own right. New York Times Book Review
"Magnificent, breathtaking.. Heaney has created something imperishable and great that is stainless—stainless, because its force as poetry makes it untouchable by the claw of literalism: it lives singly, as an English language poem." -- The Guardian
