Next for the Gap Year: Beowulf
Hey friends,
We had a blast discussing the Tao with you all last weekend. Thank you for participating in the discussion and going on this journey with us. And thank you Jen for the amazing meal!
Our next read is Beowulf. We’ll be reading Maria Dahvana Headley’s new translation, which you can order here or, preferably, through New Dominion Bookshop on the downtown mall.
However, since I’ve already read her translation, I’ll be reading J.R.R. Tolkien’s translation, and thinking about them both comparatively as I do so. I’m really curious to see what the differences between them will reveal about the text.
See you soon!
Robbie
