Written across a range of poetic forms and voices, this rendering captures the thrust and gore of battle, the sinister fens and moorlands of Dark Age Denmark, and the treasures and glories of the mead-hall. But can the hero defeat his blood-thirsty foes, save the Geats from being wiped off the map, and claim his just rewards? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining faithful translation with innovative re-workings and poems from alternative viewpoints, Purvis has created an exciting new interpretation of \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e - full of verve and the bristle of language. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeghan Purvis\u003c\/strong\u003e received her MA and PhD in Creative Writing from UEA.
