Summary
Beowulf: A Hero’s Tale of Monsters and Valor
Beowulf tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, then with Grendel’s avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side.
