  • I don’t think anyone ever mistook Beowulf (c. 700–1000 AD) for nonfiction, but just wanted to mention that if you’ve read it and enjoyed it, you might like Grendel, a modern retelling of Beowulf from the monster’s perspective.

    Btw it’s really fun to get a side-by-side Modern English and Old English edition of Beowulf and compare them. Wild how much language can change in that time span.
