Great translation of an old epic, the commentary didn't interest me too much though. It was more a commentary on the translation and less a commentary on the story (which I would have preferred). Nonetheless I still enjoyed some of the commentary even if it was a bit too dry and I didn't read through all of it.

I also liked Sellic Spell, though I have to admit I am disappointed he didn't retell the whole beowulf story. Altogether a solid read.
