The collection presents Beowulf in a translation by William Alfred, The Song of Roland and The Cid translated by W.S. Merwin, and The Nibelungenlied rendered into English by Helen M. Mustard. These towering works chronicle the heroic deeds, fierce battles, and moral codes of warriors and kings drawn from Germanic, Norse, French, and Spanish traditions. Together, they form an indispensable portrait of the medieval imagination — a world governed by honour, loyalty, and the relentless clash between fate and human will. This is essential reading for students of literature, history, and the enduring myths that shaped Western civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956231745755,"sku":"2026100008424-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0b5f5de9-8785-4a20-9363-229359938124.png?v=1783499172","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008424-secondhand-medieval-epics","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
