Episode: Beowulf
Description: Welcome to Stray Reads! For our fifth episode, Sergio and Sol are joined by Kris to discuss Beowulf, one of the most important and translated works of Old English literature, which is why we collectively read 4 different versions of it. Join us to talk about the possibility space that is opened up when different translators tackle the same work with different views and objectives, what it means to be a good king and how that is not enough to lead a satisfying life, and how reading multiple versions of Unferth being dunked on is just such a delight.
