Tolkien's \u003cem\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e. In this bold and truly innovative translation, Douglas Wilson reproduces the alliteration and stresses of the original, though being more dynamic with particular wording. This is without question the most musical translation of \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e, one which many readers will return to again and again if they want to get the feel of the original Anglo-Saxon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Wilson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159128130X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781591281306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooks \u0026amp; Culture\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2014 pg. 28","brand":"Douglas Wilson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44042896605439,"sku":"9781591281306","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af0d5248-c917-4255-9194-3e1c44105cfb.jpg?v=1684964141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beowulf-douglas-wilson-9781591281306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
