Beowulf: An Anglo-Saxon Poem; The Fight at Finnsburh: A Fragment is a book written by Moriz Heyne and published in 1883. The book is a translation of the epic poem Beowulf, which is considered one of the most important works of Anglo-Saxon literature. The poem tells the story of Beowulf, a hero who comes to the aid of the Danish king Hrothgar, who is being terrorized by a monster named Grendel. Beowulf defeats Grendel and his mother, but is eventually killed by a dragon. The Fight at Finnsburh is a fragment of another Anglo-Saxon poem, which tells the story of a battle between two tribes.
