After reviewing the available translations of Beowulf, Medievalists.net offers the three best translations to start with, and Witan Publishing's own "Beowulf: A Verse Translation for Students" by Edward Risden is among these three best!

According to the reviewer, "this is a great, accessible translation, especially for readers who are encountering the poem for the first time and do not want to be overwhelmed by the temporal, cultural, and language barriers."

You can read more of the review at Medievalists.net, or get the book for yourself at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, or wherever ebooks are sold!
