Beowulf

Beowulf is an anonymous heroic epic poem, the highest achievement of Old English literature. It recreates for us those ancient times when men lived roughly but nobly,and when heroes feared no one but imaginary creatures such as demons and dragons. Preserved in a single manuscript of about 1000 AD, it narrates events of the early 6th century.  It was probably composed between 700 and 750, and didn't appear in print until 1815. The poem is 3. 182 lines long, making it the longest in Old English literature.  


Here is the narration of  "BEOWULF". Get yourselves acquainted!
