Description
Beowulf: An Epic Enigma (Book I) offers a revolutionary reappraisal of the Old English epic. Drawing on decades of scholarship and live performance, Chris Vinsonhaler presents Beowulf as a masterwork of enigmatic design—a “labyrinth of interlacing riddles” that mounts a scathing critique of heroic criminality beneath the veil of heroic praise. With a foreword by Oxford scholar Heather O’Donoghue, this richly illustrated volume pairs an authoritative translation with accessible commentary, inviting readers to encounter Beowulf not as a primitive cultural artifact, but as a literary tour de force that speaks urgently to our own time.
