Book Reviews of Beowulf: A Dual-Language Edition
Book Review: Great introduction to a fascinating classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This edition was my introduction to Beowulf and Anglo-Saxon culture. I like how the book is organized. Before the poem, Chickering provides a summary, introduction, and reading guide. Then, the poem itself. Finally, history of the poem and a lengthy, helpful commentary. For a "newbie", this edition helped me to appreciate Beowulf and its culture. I am now reading the commentary, the section "The Poetry of Praise". I am learning so much. Chickering's edition gave me the "push" to learn more about Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-Norman, and Celtic work.
