Written in Old English sometime before the tenth century A.D., the epic Beowulf describes the adventures of a great Scandinavian warrior of the sixth century. Fabric of fact and fancy, it is the oldest surviving epic in British literature and exists in only one manuscript. This copy survived both the wholesale destruction of religious artefacts during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII and a disastrous fire which destroyed the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (1571); the poem still bears the scars of the fire.
Let me transport you back in time to the days when this tale was told in front of the fires in the halls of the kings. Join Beowulf in his struggle against monsters from the depths of the marshes and an ancient dragon woken from its barrow.
