Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 31/01/2024Last day of the month and the last of my "Just Read This January" posts. Congrats if you are still alive. Well done. Some #Tolkien here. #Imbolc #Reading 000
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 30/01/2024But yes, the Dover Thrift is a translation from 1922 by R. K. Gordon. It's unnecessarily archaic and difficult. One can retain the feel, flavor, voice of an old piece and not make its reading a chore. This is a popular story. It should flow and have rhythm and be a story. 000
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 30/01/2024He eats a guy in like two seconds. His arm is big. I'm sure I read that somewhere. Took extra men to carry parts of Grendel. He's big. He's also Jotun. They usually have powers or are giants. 100
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 30/01/2024This might not be the best version. The Dover Thrift Edition. And I thought I had a hard copy of Tolkien's "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics" lecture but I can't find it... also, I think it's implicit in more than one place in the story that Grendel is big and has superhuman strength, right? 100
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 25/01/2024Oldie but goodie. Really about emerging market economies in W. Europe 1000-1300 AD. #books #history 010
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 24/01/2024The first in a series. I didn't realize this until I was halfway through the book. Also, they made a tv show out of this that I tried to watch once but couldn't because of the stupid clothes and hair on the Danes. Might try again. #Wessex #Alfred #Danelaw #Guthrum 000
Nate Dray @diluvianent.bsky.social · 18/01/2024Great explanation of the burnt cakes/bread story. Also, the ultimate comeback, I'm-putting-together-a-team, redemption revenge tale. #Alfred #History #Athelney #England 000
