Lynne’s Reviews > Beowulf > Status Update

I deeply love this epic poem. I fell in love with the Beowulf story through Kevin Crossley-Holland’s picture book at age 11 (it is a book that is really for any age. The illustrations are beautiful). I first read Seamus Heaney’s seminal translation in middle school and have returned to it many times. I am revisiting it now because I am preparing to read Maria Dahvana Headley’s modern feminist translation.
