A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the much-buzzed-about novel The Mere Wife

Brash and belligerent, lunatic and envigorating, with passages of sublime poetry punctuated by obscenities and social-media shorthand. --Ruth Franklin, The New Yorker

The author of the crazy-cool Beowulf-inspired novel The Mere Wife tackles the Old English epic poem with a fierce new feminist translation that radically recontextualizes the tale.--Barbara VanDenburgh, USA Today

Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf--and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment high-school students around the world--there is a radical new verse translation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements that have never before been translated into English, recontextualizing the binary narrative of monsters and heroes into a tale in which the two categories often entwine, justice is rarely served, and dragons live among us.

A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist's eye toward gender, genre, and history--Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation of Beowulf, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation.

A Perfect 5-Star Refill Solution!
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
As a heavy user of my Epson EcoTank printer, I am always on the hunt for reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective refill ink, and the QIOCKTO 522 set is exactly that—a phenomenal find! Effortless & Mess-Free Refilling: The design of these bottles is truly genius. They feature the same key-lock nozzle system as the OEM bottles, meaning they only fit into the correct color tank, and the refill process is completely automatic and totally mess-free. I didn't spill a single drop, which is a huge win for EcoTank owners. Exceptional Print Quality: After refilling, the print results are indistinguishable from the original Epson ink. I've printed everything from detailed photos to plain text documents, and the colors are vibrant, the blacks are deep, and there is no smearing or clogging. My printer recognized the ink perfectly and continued operating without any errors. Incredible Value: This 4-pack offers a massive volume of ink for a fraction of the cost of the brand-name refills. For the quality and the quantity you receive, this is hands-down the best value on the market for keeping your EcoTank running. If you own a compatible EcoTank printer and want to save money without sacrificing quality or ease of use, these QIOCKTO 522 ink bottles are a must-buy!

Easy to use Ink Refill for Epson printers
Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow, Color: 2 Black,1 Cyan,1 Magenta,1 Yellow
This was a fantastic ink refill for my Epson 522 printer. I had been simply purchasing new cartridges in the past, but I decided to simply try to refill it the current ones that I was using. This was easy to use and surprisingly mess free. It didn't change the compatibility once I refilled the cartridge, which was a worry. The cost was very reasonable considering the expense of buying new cartridges. The quality was high when I started to print, and I was very impressed that there was no smearing or degradation in the ink or the readability. This worked very well, and I am extremely happy with the product. Clean up was trivial. I was amazed that there was no leaking either. Would definitely buy again.

It’s just what I ordered! It came very fast and the ink is sealed individually so it should last until I need it! I used the first bottle of black ink immediately! Thank you
