Beowulf and GrendelAbout the Story
Thought to be based on oral legends and then later written down by monks, the heroic epic poem Beowulf survives from a single untitled manuscript. Although the storyline deals primarily with Scandinavian matters, Beowulf is considered England’s national epic and is thought to be the earliest full-length heroic epic to have survived in any Germanic language.
