Beowulf: A New Translation by Anonymous

adventurous medium-paced

Really enjoyed Headley's translation, it has such a distinct voice to it and utilising the bro-culture language opens a door to reading in a new light. This language worked much better in some places than others for me, I miss some of the deeper emotion and I guess sincerity from translations that lean further into more traditional/archaic style of translating, but I found the introduction very interesting and had a fun old time!
