Good translation. The translation is fine. The person who left a one-star review is an idiot. Ignore him. Unless you read Old English (you don't), this is the best free version.

Recommended. This was my first time reading Beowulf. I found this translation to be well done and fairly readable. The endnotes are helpful. The book could stand some more explanatory notes - perhaps a brief explanatory paragraph to introduce each book. I was able to find a free sparknotes on Beowulf which was Avery helpful companion read along with Wikipedia of course.

Not Beowulf, but a translation. This is not the poem, it’s “translated by Gummere,” which you can’t find out until after you download it.

Good book. Stop saying that this is old English, because it is not. Unless you are studying old English, you cannot read it. This isn't old English it is archaic English, learn the difference.

A hero to the end. This book is free. The translation is not modern English. I enjoyed that—a little challenge that gives me a feel for the original. Great adventure.

Good. Formatting is a little difficult to read, but it's not a problem. If you are looking for a free translation of the poem, this is it!

Beawulf. Is it free?

"You don't"?. To the person who said "you don't" in reference to reading Old English: actually, I do, thank you. I happen to be studying Old English and I can read, write, and translate Old English texts. I just wanted to discredit your generalization. Thank you, and good day.
