Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beowulf Karl Hagen and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Bēowulf" is an Anglo-Saxon poem that dates back to the early medieval period. This epic tale chronicles the exploits of the titular character, Bēowulf, a heroic warrior who comes to the aid of King Hroðgar of the Danes, facing a monstrous foe known as Grendel. The poem delves into themes of heroism, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil, while also reflecting the values of the time in which it was composed. At the start of "Bēowulf," we are introduced to the lineage of Danish kings through the figure of Scyld, who is praised for his leadership and valor. The poem establishes the serene yet precarious state in Hroðgar's kingdom, where the establishment of the grand Heorot hall is celebrated. However, this joy is soon overshadowed by the terror of Grendel, a creature who exploits the hall's revelries, launching brutal attacks and devouring warriors. In response to Hroðgar's plight, Bēowulf, a noble warrior from Geatland, decides to sail to Denmark with his compatriots to confront Grendel and restore peace to Hroðgar's domain. Thus begins the legendary tale of bravery and valor that forms the heart of this timeless epic. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 85.6 (6th grade).
