Beowulf, Nebst Dem Finnsburg-Bruchstuck [German]

This 1905 edition presents the epic poem "Beowulf" alongside the "Finnsburg Fragment," both in German translation. Ferdinand Holthausen, a renowned scholar (1860-1956), provides the translation and likely commentary, making this volume a valuable resource for those studying Old English literature from a German-speaking perspective. The book offers a look into the heroic world of the Anglo-Saxons through the lens of German scholarship.

"Beowulf", a cornerstone of early English literature, recounts the tale of a heroic Geatish warrior who battles monsters and defends his people. The "Finnsburg Fragment", a dramatic and incomplete narrative, hints at themes of betrayal and vengeance within a hall of warriors. This edition provides access to these foundational texts for students and enthusiasts alike.
