From the mists of ancient Denmark comes this tale of terror and heroism. Beowulf is the story of a Geatish hero who slays three powerful monsters in his life-long quest for fame and honor.
Most literature--comic or tragic--tries to be subtle, thought-provoking, emotional. Beowulf is raw awesomeness. It is one of the few books that every young man ought to read and know.
Greg Conte and Romanized Visigoth discuss the style and meaning of this Germanic epic poem.
