"There is an air of mystery and pathos in Beowulf that readers rarely forget," Fred C Robinson says in the introduction to this new and stunningly illustrated verse translation by Marijane Osborn. To read Beowulf, however, readers must overcome the barrier of an archaic English, adjust to a narrative method different from that in use today, and know something of the thought~world of England in the Heroic Age. Marijane Osborn's vivid translation removes the barrier of language, in a four~stress verse~form imitative of Old English and intended for reading aloud. Robinson's incisive introduction clarifies the differences between ancient and modern narrative methods. And what the reader begins to discover about the thought~world of Beowulf is given a striking visual dimension by eighty~five reproductions of ancient art and artifacts from England and Scandinavia, archaeological testimony to the richness of life in human havens~and the horror of the monsters lurking beyond. Marijane Osborn is a widely published poet as well as a scholar. Her Beowulf is neither a scholarly exercise nor a metrical experiment but a poem of remarkable strength and grace, in a setting of great physical beauty. Cover Photograph: The Coppergate Helmet, only the third Anglo~Saxon helmet to be found so far, was discovered by a bulldozer driver in York on May 12, 1982, "the most spectacular find made in the city for a century or more." As this helmet appears to have been made at least a century later than the other two helmets, and corresponds in certain details to helmets described in Beowulf the find adds to the growing evidence for a later date for the poem's composition than has been traditionally accepted.
