The following chapters attempt to show teachers of middle and high school students, that it is possible as well as important to increase student understanding of and appreciation for the poem. First, a brief examination of the evolution of Beowulf studies and criticism will demonstrate that throughout the history of Beowulf study, there has been a persistent trend among Anglo-Saxon scholars of changing and adapting the poem to increase relevance and audience appeal. To establish Beowulf as an enduring work dealing with enduring issues, this study continues the trend of changing and adapting Beowulf by exploring how modern social concerns such as heroism, family and community, social deviation, gender roles, and religion can be compared to manifestations of the same issues in Anglo-Saxon society as revealed through the poem. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss two contemporary derivative works--"Beowulf for Beginners," an Internet version of the poem, and Beowulf: A New Telling by Robert Nye--in which some of these enduring issues are brought more clearly to light. These two works will provide teachers with resources containing modern insights into certain aspects of Beowulf that not ony reflect current cultural and political trends, but at the same time enhance the meaning and enjoyment of the poem itself. Finally, in Chapter 6 an examination of parallels between Beowulf and science fiction and fantasy in written and visual media will further emphasize just how "alive" Beowulf and the ideas contained therein really are. In an effort to further clarify how popular culture can bridge the gap between the world of Beowulf and the modern world, chapters 2 through 6 will each conclude with sample discussion/essay topics and activity prompts that can be used in conjunction with the works and issues discussed in this study.

Cultures across the globe have embraced epics: stories of memorable deeds by heroic characters whose actions have significant consequences for their lives and their communities. Incorporating narrative elements also found in sacred history, chronicle, saga, legend, romance, myth, folklore, and the novel, epics throughout history have both animated the imagination and encouraged reflection on what it means to be human. Teaching World Epics addresses ancient and more recent epic works from Africa, Europe, Mesoamerica, and East, Central, and South Asia that are available in English translations. Useful to instructors of literature, peace and conflict studies, transnational studies, women's studies, and religious studies, the essays in this volume focus on epics in sociopolitical and cultural contexts, on the adaptation and reception of epic works, and on themes that are especially relevant today, such as gender dynamics and politics, national identity, colonialism and imperialism, violence, and war. This volume includes discussion of Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando Furioso, Giulia Bigolina's Urania, The Book of Dede Korkut, Luís Vaz de Camões's Os Lusíadas, David of Sassoun, The Epic of Askia Mohammed, The Epic of Gilgamesh, the epic of Sun-Jata, Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga's La Araucana, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Kalevala, Kebra Nagast, Kudrun, The Legend of Poṉṉivaḷa Nadu, the Mahabharata, Manas, John Milton's Paradise Lost, Mwindo, the Nibelungenlied, Poema de mio Cid, Popol Wuj, the Ramayana, the Shahnameh, Sirat Bani Hilal, Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, Statius's Thebaid, The Tale of the Heike, Three Kingdoms, Gaspar Pérez de Villagrá's Historia de la Nueva México, and Virgil's Aeneid.
