Grendel's Mother - 9781991160577

A vital and poetic reimagening of an ancient text Grendel's Mother, inspired by the famed Anglo-Saxon epic poem, Beowulf, gives voice to the monster's mother. Gardner tells the story in verse, blending the ancient form of epic narrative poetry with modern forms. The poems evoke the images of proud bearded warriors, the music of psalteries and the laughter in the mead halls against the sound of the ocean. But they also probe the meaning of female monstrousness and the struggles of women in the harsh world of our ancestors.
