Beowulf is historical fiction that embraces many universal themes and has entertained audiences for generations. Its importance is literary, but the story also gives us a distinct glimpse into 7th century Anglo-Saxon culture. The appeal of Beowulf easily spans these many many years. These heroic themes are indeed universal and give us a little glimpse into ourselves as well.
