A masterpiece of Old English literature, the alliterative epic poem 'Beowulf' was written between the 8th and 11th century and narrates the eponymous hero's battles against the monster Grendel, Grendel's avenging mother and finally a terrifying dragon that threatens Beowulf's homeland. Blending myth with history, 'Beowulf' celebrates the endurance of the human spirit in the perilous world of the Dark Ages.
