The poem follows the adventures of Beowulf, hero of the Geats, as he battles the monstrous Grendel, Grendel’s fearsome mother, and a deadly dragon. After the hero meets his death, readers are left with the question: What will happen now? Without their champion, hero, and king, the Geats are defenseless against their enemies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With \u003ci\u003eThe Beowulf Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, author Christopher L. Webber shares his own translation of the original epic and also answers the question of what happens next with two epic poems of his own. In \u003ci\u003eBeyond Beowulf\u003c\/i\u003e, follow the Geats as they welcome a new leader, Wiglaf, the young warrior who aided Beowulf in his encounter with the dragon. He helps the tribe search or a new home while contending with threats from storms, trolls, and the Saxon army. Then, in \u003ci\u003eYrfa’s Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, Webber looks beyond the warrior’s viewpoint to give a perspective from Wiglaf’s wife and family, and the emotional toll of their struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Beowulf Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e, Webber gives readers a complete picture of Beowulf’s world, a somber and magical land full of adventure and turmoil. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Beowulf Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e“[Webber’s] translation’s clean, musical lines are excellent for reading aloud.
