A specialist in Old English language and literature, Staver offers some background and suggestions for students who are studying the Old English poem Beowulf in modern translation. She begins with a guide to choosing a translation, then discusses such aspects as the four parts of the poem, literary techniques, a timeline, language and poetry, religion, Anglo-Saxon culture, modern adaptations, and the Beowulfian world of J. R. R. Tolkien. Each chapter ends with a list of books for further study. The glossary identifies characters and explains how to pronounce their names.
