A new, feminist translation of Beowulf by the author of the much-buzzed-about novel The Mere Wife
Brash and belligerent, lunatic and envigorating, with passages of sublime poetry punctuated by obscenities and social-media shorthand. --Ruth Franklin, The New Yorker The author of the crazy-cool Beowulf-inspired novel The Mere Wife tackles the Old English epic poem with a fierce new feminist translation that radically recontextualizes the tale.--Barbara VanDenburgh, USA Today Nearly twenty years after Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf--and fifty years after the translation that continues to torment high-school students around the world--there is a radical new verse translation of the epic poem by Maria Dahvana Headley, which brings to light elements that have never before been translated into English, recontextualizing the binary narrative of monsters and heroes into a tale in which the two categories often entwine, justice is rarely served, and dragons live among us. A man seeks to prove himself as a hero. A monster seeks silence in his territory. A warrior seeks to avenge her murdered son. A dragon ends it all. The familiar elements of the epic poem are seen with a novelist's eye toward gender, genre, and history--Beowulf has always been a tale of entitlement and encroachment, powerful men seeking to become more powerful, and one woman seeking justice for her child, but this version brings new context to an old story. While crafting her contemporary adaptation of Beowulf, Headley unearthed significant shifts lost over centuries of translation.Binding Type: Paperback

Love this bag, wish it was even bigger!
Color: Sorrel
This is a nice squishy pebbled leather crossbody tote. I'm using it as a work bag BUT it won't fit a 16 inch laptop so if that's a consideration skip this one. It does fit a 10 inch iPad and Kindle, plus a compact umbrella, wallet, over ear headphones, full size body spray and lotion, big pack of gum, several lip products and dental floss, mini hand sanitizer, small brush, pens and a notebook... So basically my whole life fits in it aside from my laptop. It smells like leather, and I love that. The brown color has lots of variations so it looks like it has a patina already. I sprayed it with Apple Garde for waterproofing and it didn't affect the feel or color of the bag at all. This bag is really pretty and I get compliments on it daily. The zipper seems sturdy and never catches or gets stuck. It molds itself to my body like a softer leather should and I would say that it's absolutely worth the price. The strap is wide, sturdy, and comfortable too. There are multiple pockets on one inner side, a zippered middle compartment, and a zippered side compartment on the inside as well, along with an outer pocket so there's plenty of organization without having to buy an insert. I wish they had this available in an even bigger size to fit a standard laptop!

Expectations not met re. bag!
Color: Navy Blue
The seller was fantastic, as he/she accepted my return and refunded me immediately. Seller gets 5 stars.
Even thou this bag is a stunning Navy Blue, BEAUTIFUL stitching, beautiful zippers and liner, wrapped professionally with TLC, I could not stand the very strong smell. I don't know if the smell was due to the navy blue color/dye or not. I can't even describe the smell... besides that it's not leather.
I was gifted the same bag in "light brown" and that bag smells like leather; it's like you are in Rome shopping for the real thing! I love that bag as I can wear it crossbody, shoulder or hand held. Unfortunately, it too small for me.
So I thought, if I am buying bigger, let's do the dark blue. Was I wrong.
I really had high expectations for this bag. :0(

Love it
Color: Sorrel
So thought I would give this purse a try. Never bought anything like this on Amazon. My much much more expensive designer brand had to be replaced. I really like this purse. It’s the perfect size and very nicely made

So cute and dressy. Fit well and bought 1/2 size smaller than usual.
I usually wear sneakers and wanted shoes that were a bit dressier for going out for dinner with my husband. I usually wear a size 7 but bought these in a size 6 1/2 as recommended. I tried them on with bulky wool blend socks that I normally wear, and they fit perfectly. Since I intend to use these boots for dress, I didn't wear them for a long period of time, but found them to be comfortable, and the heal was not too high. The top of the boot is high enough, that it would still be covered by pant legs when you sit down. I also like that the zipper opening in the side made them very easy to get on and the zipper worked very well without sticking. I also like the stacked heal vs. a higher, thinner heal. Although I used to wear 3" spike heals when I was younger, I am now 77 years old, I am more comfortable and feel safer with a thicker heal. Overall, I very much like these ankle boots, and would recommend them.
I hope this review is helpful for you.
