The Story of Beowulf

By Stratford Riggs

The Story of Beowulf by Stratford Higgs is one of the best prose retellings of Beowulf as it captures some of the poetry of the original as well as maintaining the epic tone. The woodcut illustrations by Henry Pitz complement the text by their noble simplicity. As it has been out of print for many years, the editor prepared this edition for a group of senior year students who needed a 'lightweight' introduction to Beowulf as part of a course entitled An Introduction to English Literature.
