Amoeller Excellent to see the article in the Mpls. Star Tribune about Beowulf a couple of weeks ago - just as I was teaching the value of this epic as a window into the Anglo-Saxon culture. I had just shown the Seamus Heaney translation when the article appeared in the paper. I brought it in, and so did one of my students. To miss the value of this work is to misunderstand the value of story and what it shows us about culture, ritual, values.
