Beowulf for Modern Students

The Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf has long been studied and appreciated, but appreciation is only possible if there is understanding. For the average high schooler (and even some college students), older stories and especially poems like Beowulf are frustratingly concealed behind layers of poetic imagery and archaic language. Beowulf for Modern Students provides a more readable companion to the study of Beowulf, helping to increase both understanding and enjoyment.
