Which I actually did before, but then Amazon decided to re-version all the common domain books or something, so here we are...This version is a translation by Lesslie Hall. It's a very good re-telling of the poem--but it's hard to tell the difference between the margin notes and the text. Compared to what the formatting was when I read this version, this is great, with some linked notes, side-notes and foot-notes distinguished by different margin alignment, line numbers appearing in a reasonable location, and the text appearing as a poem. It's still a bit of a mess, though. And the text size is absurdly large. I did find it the best translation, however.Another good thing about this version is the extras, which includes discussion, historical information, glossary, and a summary of the tale so you know what's going on. All of these feature active links within the text.The next free version is Beowulf. It's the Gummere version, which isn't as good of a translation, but it's properly formatted, has a few linked notes, and only the bare minimum of extras (like story summary or glossary). It would probably be best if you just want to read the story, but not enjoy it.The last version is a translation by William Morris and A.J. Wyatt: The Tale of Beowulf Sometime King of the Folk of the Weder Geats. It has more discussion and extras than the Gummere, but less than this one, and the text seems to be okay, although I didn't read as much of it.Anyway, I hope this has all been helpful and informative and that you find the version of Beowulf that is right for you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ) This unassuming little paperback is the best Beowulf translation ever written *by M***F on October 9, 2015* (I had to order 2 of these, since the first one was full of notes and highlighting.) This unassuming little paperback is the best Beowulf translation ever written. Far superior to Heaney's. I once taught this book to a class of disaffected high school seniors, who were subsequently inspired to research Anglo-Saxon armor and weaponry, write comparisons with contemporary horror films and have animated class discussions about the limitations of heroism. Raffles' feel for his material is sheer genius. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Interesting translation, bad format *by J***N on October 30, 2013* Beowulf itself is one of the classics of epic poetry. This translation uses alliterative verse similar to the Old English original, and uses some words that are now (or perhaps always were) very obscure. I read this aloud to my son, who is very into monsters and knights and such, as bedtime reading and he loved it, despite the archaic language. So, as a translation of a poem intended to be recited aloud, it succeeds.("You're reading Beowulf to a four year old?" said Relative X "It's above his grade level! And it's so violent!" Well, it's no more violent than many of the "kid's shows" Relative X lets him watch on TV., and maybe he'll learn some good vocabulary words, and he gets an appreciation that there are good stories to be found even in the old dusty books without pictures!)The Kindle edition was formatted terribly, with the subheads in the same font and indentation as the actual poem. The end notes were also laid out very poorly.Thus, 4 stars for the translation, 2 for the layout and an average of 3 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15445510-beowulf](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/15445510-beowulf) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
