Beowulf and Other Stories: A New Introduction to Old English, Old Icelandic and Anglo-Norman Literatures

Beowulf & Other Stories was first conceived in the belief that the study of Old English � and its close cousins, Old Icelandic and Anglo-Norman � can be a genuine delight, covering a period as replete with wonder, creativity and magic as any other in literature.
