Beowulf is the longest and finest literary work to have come down to us from Anglo-Saxon times, and one of the world''s greatest epic poems. Set in the half-legendary, half historical Scandinavian past, it tells the story of the hero Beowulf, who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar by killing first the terrifying, demonic monster Grendel, and then Grendel''s infuriated and vengeful mother. A lifetime later, Beowulf''s own kingdom, Geatland, is threatened by a fiery dragon; Beowulf heroically takes on this challenge, but himself dies killing the dragon. The poem celebrates the virtues of the heroic life, but Hrothgar and Beowulf are beacons of wisdom and courage in a dark world of feuds, violence and uncertainty, and Beowulf''s selfless heroism is set against a background of ruthless power struggles, fratricide and tyranny. This acclaimed translation is complemented by a critical introduction and substantial editorial apparatus. `The poem has at last found its translator . . .supremely well done'' Charles Causley ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

The translation of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien was an early work, very distinctive in its mode, completed in 1926: he returned to it later to make hasty corrections, but seems never to have considered its publication. This edition is twofold, for there exists an illuminating commentary on the text of the poem by the translator himself, in the written form of a series of lectures given at Oxford in the 1930s; and from these lectures a substantial selection has been made, to form also a commentary on the translation in this book. From his creative attention to detail in these lectures there arises a sense of the immediacy and clarity of his vision. It is as if he entered into the imagined past: standing beside Beowulf and his men shaking out their mail-shirts as they beached their ship on the coast of Denmark, listening to the rising anger of Beowulf at the taunting of Unferth, or looking up in amazement at Grendel's terrible hand set under the roof of Heorot. But the commentary in this book includes also much from those lectures in which, while always anchored in the text, he expressed his wider perceptions.He looks closely at the dragon ...

The Old English epic poem Beowulf has an established reputation as a canonical text. And yet the original poem has remained inaccessible to all but experienced scholars of Old English. This book aims to present the poem to readers who want to know what makes it such a remarkable work of art, and why it is of such cultural significance. Most readers will only have encountered Beowulf through one of its many translations or adaptations; others have had to take on this unique survivor from a past era as a challenging translation exercise, part of their academic study of the poem. This book sidesteps scholarly debates about the poem’s unknowns – its date, provenance or author – and focusses instead on its poetic artistry, its interleaving of heroic pasts and Christian present, and its poet’s extraordinary breadth of reference, from biblical history to Old Norse myth. But the strange intricacies of Old English metre and poetic language are explained, and the poet’s evocation of the ethics and material world of an imagined pre-Viking Scandinavia is explored.

Beowulf is the greatest surviving work of literature in Old English, unparalleled in its epic grandeur and scope. It tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, who has laid waste to the great hall of the Danish king Hrothgar, then with Grendel''s avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side. And it celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in a transient world."Alexander''s translation is marked by a conviction that it is possible to be both ambitious and faithful [and] ...communicates the poem with a care which goes beyond fidelity-to-meaning and reaches fidelity of implication. May it go on ... to another half-million copies." - Tom Shippey, Bulletin of the International Association of University Professors of English

A GUARDIAN, NEW STATESMAN, SPECTATOR, AND IRISH TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the acclaimed novel The Mere Wife. Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf — and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment students around the world — there is a radical new verse interpretation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements never before translated into English. A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. These familiar components of the epic poem are seen with a novelist’s eye towards gender, genre, and history. Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment — of powerful men seeking to become more powerful and one woman seeking justice for her child — but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation.

Composed towards the end of the first millennium, the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf is one of the great Northern epics and a classic of European literature. In his new translation, Seamus Heaney has produced a work which is both true, line by line, to the original poem, and an expression, in its language and music, of something fundamental to his own creative gift.The poem is about encountering the monstrous, defeating it, and then having to live on, physically and psychically exposed, in that exhausted aftermath. It is not hard to draw parallels between this story and the history of the twentieth century, nor can Heaney''s Beowulf fail to be read partly in the light of his Northern Irish upbringing. But it also transcends such considerations, telling us psychological and spiritual truths that are permanent and liberating.

V tomto zcela prvním životopise Meghan Markle, nyní vévodkyně ze Sussexu, se uznávaný královský životopisec Andrew Morton vrací k jejím kořenům: k dětství v losangeleské čtvrti The Valley, studiu v dívčí katolické škole a napjatým vztahům v rodině. Zabývá se též jejím prvním manželstvím, jež skončilo rozvodem v roce 2013, i tím, jak v Hollywoodu stále doplácela na svůj smíšený původ a jak se nakonec navzdory němu prosadila v úspěšném televizním seriálu Kravaťáci. Věnuje se také její práci dobrovolné velvyslankyně, jíž tolik připomíná princeznu Dianu. Nakonec odhaluje, jak byl královský románek odvíjející se mezi dvěma kontinenty co nejpřísněji utajován až do chvíle, kdy vše vyšlo najevo a Meghan se ocitla v hledáčku světových médií jako nikdy předtím.

Kniha - autor Jan Čermák, 464 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Nejstarší z velkých básnických skladeb anglické literatury vznikla patrně na přelomu osmého a devátého století v anglosaské Anglii (jejíž dějiny se tradičně rámují lety 449–1066) a dochovala se v jediném rukopisu z doby kolem roku 1000. Děj skladby vyrůstá ze starogermánských lidových pověstí a využívá motivů z mýtů i povětšinou ústně předávaných hrdinských písní (řada z nich se objevuje i v literárních památkách germánského Severu po roce 1200). Osu děje představují tři hrdinské souboje starogermánského válečníka Béowulfa, který dal básnické skladbě jméno: nejprve s obrem Grendelem, posléze jeho matkou a nakonec s ohnivým drakem. Děj skladby zasadil její neznámý tvůrce do meditativního rámce, jehož tématem je vztah anglického křesťana sklonku prvního tisíciletí ke vznešené, avšak pohanské starogermánské minulosti. Poprvé česky Béowulf vyšel až po více než tisíci letech od doby svého...
