Listen "Is Beowulf an Epic?"
Episode Synopsis
The Anglo-Saxon masterpiece, Beowulf, jumped from a dusty old manuscript only available to academics to a classic that a new generation of readers are still enjoying in the 21st century. It was all thanks to J.R.R. Tolkien. Today I explore the beautiful things that can be found in the thousand-year-old English poem full of the heroism and virtue of a long-lost culture.Send us a text
