Can the hero Beowulf defeat his bloody-thirsty foe, save the Geats from being wiped off the map, and claim his just rewards?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf is brought to life in a vigorous, contemporary translation by American poet Meghan Purvis. Written across a range of poetic forms and voices, this rendering captures the thrust and gore of battle, the treasures of the mead-hall, and the sinister dens and moorlands of Dark Age Denmark. Combining faithful translation with innovative versions and poems from alternative viewpoints, Purvis has created an exciting new interpretation of Beowulf - full of verve and the bristle of language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penned in the Margins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040027656432,"sku":"9781908058140","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908058140_p0.jpg?v=1763621135","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908058140","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
