Stephen Mitchell's marvelously clear and vivid rendering recreates the strong masculine music of the original. It both hews meticulously to the Old English and catches its outrageous energy and vitality, not just as a profound "work of literature" but also as a rousing entertainment that can still blend our feelings and rivet our attention today, after more than a thousand years. This new translation - spare, sinuous, vigorous in its narration, and translucent in its poetry - makes a masterpiece accessible to everyone.
