Beowulf, a classic Old English epic, chronicles the legendary hero's courageous battles against monstrous foes like Grendel and a fire-breathing dragon. A.J. Wyatt's 1914 edition includes the enigmatic Finnsburg Fragment, a tantalizing glimpse into a separate heroic conflict, adding depth to the complex world of Anglo-Saxon poetry. This edition offers valuable insights into the epic's themes of heroism, fate, and the clash between pagan and Christian values.
