He has a new translation of Beowulf that came out in August: amzn.to/3QphpCB

Here are some YouTube videos of him discussing the new translation and Beowulf:

He also penned this non-fiction book about Vikings a few years back: amzn.to/3Qs4Er1


As well as this short piece on Beowulf before the Vikings: amzn.to/3Qs4GiD
