Beowulf, lines 115-164: Grendel Attacks Heorot

Posted by mdrout on November 12th, 2007

To celebrate Beowulf, I am posting a few excerpts from my Beowulf Aloud this week.  This one is the first description of Grendel’s depredations against the Danes in Heorot.

You can purchase the entire poem (a 3-CD set, for $25.00, which includes North American shipping) at the Beowulf Aloud link, or feel free to email me at mdrout -at- wheatoncollege.edu .
