Beowulf tells the story of a mighty warrior who defeats the monstrous Grendel and Grendel’s mother before becoming king. In his final battle, he slays a dragon but succumbs to his wounds, dying a heroic death.
In 1895 William Morris together with AJ Wyatt published their translation in 308 copies. This edition is not a facsimile but an homage to that edition.
