Listen "Introduction to Beowulf"
Episode Synopsis
What can we learn from an ancient text? A lot!! This is the foundational work that has allowed us to enjoy “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit.” JRR Tolkien was a Beowulf scholar and is so fun to see things words “middle-earth” and reading about throne room scenes that seem to be straight from Rohan! Many think that a book like this is too hard but once you get into the characters and themes you will find the relevant and relatable!This Tolkien’s translation, but we reference Seamus Haney’s as well. Tolkien’s is like the KJV and Haney’s like the NIV or Message.This intro is chock full of goodies. I hope you enjoy!!
