The Translation of Poetry
#4
Beowulf transcends poetry; although it IS a good example of the poetic epic, it is a vital link to a cultural ancestry that is almost lost to us. The story is rich with allegory and contains many techniques that we use today, not just in poetry but in everyday speech, such as kenning. The braggadoccio of Beowulf may even be said to be the forerunner of hiphop Big Grin
It could be worse
