Beowulf and Other Stories by Joe Allard

The editors are to be congratulated upon their success in arraying such an impressive field of internationally-renowned specialists, the scholarly credentials of whom, and hence of the volume to which they have contributed, are unimpeachable. It is approachable by absolute beginners, but those who read it from cover to cover will have accrued a very wide range of knowledge on a variety of material relevant to the study of Old English (and Old Norse) literature. Dr. Richard Dance, University of Cambridge
Joe Allard teaches at the University of Essex. He translates and publishes contemporary Icelandic poetry and fiction, and has written extensively on medieval Icelnadic prose and poetry. Richard North teaches Old and Middle English at University College London, and is author of Heathen Gods in Old English Literature (1997) and The Origins of Beaowulf (2006).
