I’m going to be musing my way through Beowulf, bit by bit or chunk by chunk, and writing about it here in different installments. I don’t have a solid plan other than just reading and letting my thoughts go and I invite you to read along. If you are a Christian then Beowulf is your heritage. That goes doubly if English is your mother tongue. And triply if you are of Anglo and/or Scandinavian ethnicity. All of which I am and revel in the heritage of my faith, my tongue, and my people. Of course, you don’t need any cultural connection to the tale in order to enjoy it. At its core it is a story about a hero who rescues people from monsters. Anyone can enjoy that!
