Who is Grendel?

Hi, and welcome to my blog! This space devotes itself to finding out just who or what Grendel is: what does he mean to me, you and the next fellow?

Over the years, a lot (one might say too much…) has been written about Beowulf, but where would he have been if not for Grendel, that’s what I’d like to know!

I will post anything in here: from scholarly journals to children’s books’ illustrations, plus my own views and I invite you all to contribute. For starters, here’s a picture of Grendel and Beowulf by the artist Robert Ingpen.
