Alongside his story, multiple other shorter narratives are told and many other voices are heard, making it a rich and varied account of the poet's views of heroism, conflict, loyalty, and the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe poem is widely taught in schools and universities, and has been adapted, modernized, and translated dozens of times, but this is the first large-scale polyvocal translation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReaders will encounter the voices of over two hundred individuals, woven together into a reading experience that is at once productively dissonant, yet strangely coherent in its extreme variation. We hope that it turns the common question \"Why do we need yet \u003cem\u003eanother\u003c\/em\u003e translation?\" on its head, asking instead, \"How can we hear from \u003cem\u003emore\u003c\/em\u003e translators?,\" and \"How can previously unheard, or marginalized voices, find space, like this, in the world of Old English Studies?\" With this in mind we invite a new generation of readers to try their own hand at translating \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e in the workbook space provided opposite this community translation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is often through the effort of translating that we see the reality of the original.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is available as Open Access.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARC Humanities Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47572996259991,"sku":"9781641894715","price":4698.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781641894715.webp?v=1774891678","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beowulf-by-all-community-translation-and-workbook-9781641894715","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
