"Beowulf" vs. "The Lord of the Rings"
One is a living universe, the other a 3-D voyage to schlockville. A great essay by Tolkien helps us understand why.
By Gary Kamiya [2007-11-20]

  • There's one other version of Beowulf that does capture its heart.

    Although I'm amazed to say it, one of the best interpretations of the Beowulf myth I've seen was on "Xena Warrior Princess". It quite succinctly caught the mood of the poem, and added its own tragic undertones.
