Fun With Language: Literature in Translation
Earlier this week I finished Maria Dahvana Headley's translation of Beowulf. It's a story I know well, having read various translations of the poem over the last couple decades. I loved her translation. There's a mix of modern language and archaic formalities. It's a translation you can feel the fun she had in writing it. In undergrad, I majored in Linguistics. Between high school and college, I studied five years of French, four years of Russian, and two years of Japanese. I'm absolute […]https://alexanderkeane.com/2026/04/14/fun-with-language-literature-in-translation/

Finished Maria Dahvana Headley's translation of Beowulf tonight. It scratches an itch for me in being a translation that tries to understand what the text tried to be to its original audience and to translate that to the new audience. Here, we have the boasting translated into a frat-boy-esque narration that totally works.
(My favorite translation of Eugene Onegin is the Hofstadter one with little translation puns thrown in here and there.)

After stops that took in the Bodleian Library complex and the Radcliffe Science Library, the last stop on the nostalgia tour was the British Library.
(I wrote large chunks of my PhD thesis camped out there, back in the day.)
It feels more important than ever to show appreciation for these wondrous and beautiful institutions.

Oh, the irony! 🧐 An article about Beowulf's "What" that opens with a demand for #JavaScript as if ancient epics were composed in HTML. 🍪 But sure, let's pause our digital lives for a cookie break to decode literary history. 🙄

The opening lines of Beowulf look familiar to Icelanders who know a little bit about their language.
> Hwæt we Gardena in geardagum, þeodcyninga ...
A quick and dirty translation to Icelandic would be:
> Hvað við Geir-Danir í gærdögum, þjóðkonunga ...
Geir isn't much used in modern Icelandic, in its original sense, but it means spear. We do have the word "geirvarta" which is literally "spearwart" but actually means nipple.
I should stress that "gærdögum" isn't strictly a word in Icelandic but it is transparent as meaning "the past".
"Þjóð" usually means "nation" in modern Icelandic but can also be "people" or "group".
Of course I stop at "þeodcyninga" because then the translation gets significantly more difficult.

Just arrived, Weinersmith and Boulet's delightful retelling of #Beowulf, the gorgeous middle-grade #graphicNovel #BeaWolf. This book is somewhat difficult to get in the UK at the moment. But I was lucky to find Forbidden Planet (.com) had copies. Will be reading it soon, after I've finished my current graphic novel. #ComicBooks #OldEnglish #EpicPoems #ClassicLiterature #ChildrensBooks #comics #GraphicNovels

"In our furious fighting, we failed to look shoreward. There, teens had gaggled, grinning and grease-benighted! Our battle-dance drew them - dark-pitted demon-dogs, stink-crusted teen-beasts, shave-needing fun-shredders!"
I think this is my favorite bit so far from #BeaWolf by @ZachWeinersmith Count on teenagers to be "shave-needing fun-shredders" indeed.
