A Little Lost
I am reading this book for Books on The Nighstand’s summer reading challenge, Beowulf on the Beach. I have more than a passing familiarity with the Bible, so I hope that will be enough to appreciate the biblical allusions central to the work. According to the introduction, it also helps to be familiar with The Illiad and The Aeneid, neither of which I’ve read, so they must be added to my list, I suppose.

I had a student who enjoyed the excerpt of Paradise Lost in our textbook — the part when Satan is thrown from heaven — that he purchased the whole book to read.
