The oldest existing English literature work, Beowulf, part story, part legend, is the kind of story that impresses upon us as the quintessential epic hero's adventure. Immortalized now in the Hollywood film staring Angelina Jole as the mother of the monster Grendel, this is the epic poem/story that the movie bases itself on. To make matters even more interesting, historical evidence points to the authenticity of many facts surrounding the legend. Part I presents the tale in modern English.
