Grendel the Greedy - Foe of Beowulf

Grendel the greedy, foe of Beowulf...

A small portion of a much larger digital iPad painting I'm working on.

 

For anyone who loves the poem of Beowulf as much as myself, dont miss out on the chance of a life-time opportunity to take a class taught by Tom Shippey, world renown Medieval and Tolkien scholar, who now holds the same chair at Oxford that Tolkien himself held for years!

 

The online class he will be teaching is called: Beowulf Through Tolkien, And Vice Versa

www.mythgard.org/academics/spring-2015-courses/beowulf-th...

And is a credited course available for graduate students, or for any folks who'd like to audit the class, as I myself will be doing!

 

Here is a trailer about the course from Professor Shippey himself:

And a video made by my good friend John Di Bartolo about it:

So join me and other students along with Professor Tom Shippey, in diving deeper into the rich world of Beowulf, through the eyes of Professor Tolkien!
