This Old English epic poem, written anonymously between the 8th and 11th centuries, tells the story of Beowulf, a brave hero from Scandinavia. Beowulf travels to the land of the Danes to help their king, whose hall and people are being attacked by the monster Grendel. After Beowulf defeats Grendel, he must then face Grendel's mother. Years later, as King of the Geats, Beowulf faces his final challenge against a dragon. Regarded as a significant work of Anglo-Saxon literature, Beowulf explores themes of courage, valor, and the battle against monstrous forces.
