Paperback. Etat : Good. Bilingual (Old English/English) Edition. Composed toward the end of the first millennium, Beowulf is the elgiac narrative of the adventures of Beowulf, a Scaninavian hero who saves the Danes from the seemingly invincible monster Grendel and, later, from Grendel's mother. He then return to his own country and dies in old age in a vivid fight against a dragon. In this work, Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney finds a resonance that summons power to Beowulf's poetry from deep beneath its surface. Drawn to what he has called the 'four-squareness of the utterance' and its immense emotional credulity, he gives these epic qualities a new, vital reality. 213p.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. The greatest of the late medieval Scots makers, Robert Henryson was influenced by their vision of the frailty and pathos of human life, and by the inherited poetic example of Geoffrey Chaucer. Henrysonâs finest poem, and one of the rhetorical masterpieces of Scots literature, is the narrative Testament of Cresseid. Set in the aftermath of the Trojan War, the Testament completes the story of Chaucerâs Troilus and Criseyde, offering a tragic account of its faithless heroineâs rejection by her lover, Diomede, and of her subsequent decline into prostitution and leprosy. Written in Middle Scots, a distinctive northern version of English, the Testament has been translated by Seamus Heaney into a confident but faithful idiom that matches the original verse form and honors the poetâs unique blend of detachment and compassion. Also a comic master of the verse fable, Henrysonâs burlesques of human weakness in the guise of animal wisdom are delicately pointed with irony. Heaney here sparklingly translates seven of the Fables; their freshness rendered to the last claw and feather. 183p.

Hardcover. Etat : Good. When the great monster Grendel comes to Denmark and dashes its warriors' hopes, installing himself in their great hall and eating alive the valiant lords, the hero Beowulf arrives from over the ocean to wrestle the beast. He saves the Danes, who sing of his triumphs, but soon the monster's mother turns up to take him hostage: having killed her, our hero goes home to the land of the Geats, acquires the kingship, and fights to the death an enormous dragon. That's the plot of this narrative poem, composed more than a millennium ago in the Germanic language that gave birth (eventually) to our version of English. Long a thing for professors to gloss, the poem includes battles, aggressive boasts, glorious funerals, frightening creatures and a much-studied alliterative meter; earlier versions in current vernacular have pleased lay readers and helped hard-pressed students. Nobel laureate Heaney has brought forth a finely wrought, controversial (for having won a prize over a children's book) modern English version, one which retains, even recommends, the archaic strengths of its warrior world, where 'The Spear-Danes in days gone by/ and the kings who ruled them had courage and greatness.' Well-known digressionsAa detailed dirge, the tale-within-a-tale of Hengest, 'homesick and helpless' in ancient FrieslandAfind their ways into Heaney's English, which holds to the spirit (not always the letter) of the en face Anglo-Saxon, fusing swift story and seamless description, numinous adjectives and earthy nouns: in one swift scene of difficult swimming, 'Shoulder to shoulder, we struggled on/ for five nights, until the long flow/ and pitch of the waves, the perishing cold drove us apart. The deep boiled up/ and its wallowing sent the sea-brutes wild.' Heaney's evocative introduction voices his long-felt attraction to the poem's 'melancholy fortitude,' describing the decades his rendering took and the use he discovered for dialect terms. It extends in dramatic fashion Heaney's long-term archeological delvings, his dig into the origins of his beloved, conflicted - by politics and place - English language.
