"A new translation of Beowulf, by Alan Sullivan and Timothy Murphy, is enhanced by Sarah Anderson with commentary and notes that explain unfamiliar terms, assist with literary allusions, and clarify a wealth of cultural and historical references. Near at hand is a chart of family genealogies, a glossary of proper names, and maps of Anglo-Saxon England and Denmark."--BOOK JACKET.

Tim Murphy is a phenomenal poet and translator. He has over 30,000 lines of poetry MEMORIZED. The man is a genius. This is the best translation of Beowulf that I have ever read. Tim Murphy makes poetic translation look so easy!
