Beowulf

BeowulfSong of Wars and KingsBeowulf is the earliest extant poem in a modern European Language. It was composed in England four centuries before the Norman Conquest. As a social document this great epic poem is invaluable- reflecting a feudal, newly Christian world of heroes and monsters, blood and victory and death. As a work of art it is quite unique; Beowulf rings with a beauty, power, and artistry that have kept it alive for more than twelve centuries.  Age Level = 12 and up Book Author = Burton Raffel Book Material = Paperback Book Publisher = Mentor Books Copyright = c1963 Grade Level = 7 and up Condition = Used-Fair Subject = Literature Item Number: 567-262 Item ID: 46016 Category: Beowulf
