A complete retelling built from the Old English text and a visible source apparatus.

Beowulf
An Old English Epic, Retold for Modern Humans
The monster is the easy part.
Beowulf is not only a monster story. It is what happens when a culture turns violence into reputation, when gifts become obligations, and when a hero discovers that the last fight is not a younger man’s fight. The Kurt Silenus edition is still in source apparatus; prose is not being advertised ahead of that work.

No homework.
Still the whole thing.
Heorot, Grendel, the mother, the dragon, the hall’s obligations, and the long aftertaste of a good name.
Phase 0 source work is active. No prose release date has been set.
