Oplysninger fra den engelske Almen Viden Redigér teksten, så den bliver dansk. This LT Work is a Norton Critical Edition of the epic poem, Beowulf, in the Donaldson Translation and edited by Joseph E. Tuso. Please do not combine it either with alternate versions of the Norton Critical Edition (e.g., the Seamus Heaney Translation, edited by Daniel Donoghue) or with the LT Work for the original poem itself. This is the 2nd NCE edition of the Donaldson translation edited by Nicholas Howe. Please do not combine with the first NCE edition edited by Joseph F. Tuso as the critical contents are entirely different. Thank you.  | |

It serves a merit as a historical text.
It's pro-b the first manuscript to surface out of the dark ages where before there was no literacy for at least 600 or more years after ancient Latin became a dead language. Before that the the first known record of literacy was an ancient Greek record or two from around 400BC.
The poem itself is only 50 pages long. As for the story it is one of sorrow, slaughter, nightmare and terror with a strong slant upon death or the burial process. This edition contains seven essays at the back that I found quite practical and which elaborate upon several themes and ideas in the text
If you want to get a start in English I'd pro-b begin further ahead at Geoffery Chaucer from about the 1300's though I'd retain Beowulf for 1 minute in terms of Latin, Greek or Hebrew from their contemporary perspectives
There is one outstanding question as to the dating of the poem but it would appear the existing manuscript was scribed around 1000AD pro-b from a pre-extant copy which is now lost (
