Drout Written more than 1,000 years ago, 13eowulfis the oldest surviving work in Old English, and the first work of its kind to make the transition from the oral tradition to written form. Filled with vivid battle scenes, Reowidfis the story of a mighty warrior in fifth-century Scandinavia who achiex es glory by fighting and killing monsters and governing his land wisely for 50 years.
