Beowulf reading scheduled Beowulf, an eighth-century poem about a heroic warrior who battles monsters and dragons, has often confounded many literature students who may get mired in its Old English vocabulary and overlook the mystery, myth, and adventure of the story. But a recent translation of the epic was well received by both critical and popular audiences and has generated new interest and appreciation for the work.
