A review by lucysnowy
Beowulf by Unknown

4.0

obviously beowulf is epic. i dont need to say that.

i will say that it was one of the best long poems i have read. it kept my attention throughout, which is a challenge in itself when it comes to long poetry.

i will say that i was completely baffled by the names. it was not helped by the fact that everyone in the world had a name beginning with h. so hard to keep track of.

but the battle scenes were exciting, the evidence of old english customs and practices was insightful, and i am very glad that i have read this.
