Beowulf (in Finnish)

 

 

Beowulf

Translated and introduced by Clive Tolley and Osmo Pekonen
Helsinki: WSOY, 1999

This is the first translation of the Old English epic poem Beowulf into Finnish. Osmo Pekonen and I collaborated on producing a translation directly from the Old English text, using a poetic diction which takes account of the alliterative traditions of both Old English and Finnish verse. The introduction was written by me and translated and somewhat edited by Osmo Pekonen.
