Dick Ringler's deceptively simple translation captures the rhythm, movement, and power of the original Old English poem while employing a fluid modern English style and a relatively spare vocabulary. His generous Introduction, a lively yet masterly guide to the work, along with his translations of three shorter Old English poems elucidate a major English text almost as well-known for its subtlety and intricacy as it is for its monsters and heroes.Dick Ringler is the author of 'Beowulf: A New Translation for Oral Delivery (Hackett Classics)', published 2007 under ISBN 9780872208933 and ISBN 0872208931.
