Over the past century and a half, more than 150 new versions of \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e directed to child and teen audiences have appeared, in English and in many other languages. In this collection of original essays, Bruce Gilchrist and Britt Mize examine the history and processes of remaking \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e for young readers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInventive in their manipulations of story, tone, and genre, these adaptations require their authors to make countless decisions about what to include, exclude, emphasize, de-emphasize, and adjust. This volume considers the many forms of children\u0026amp;#x2019;s literature, focusing primarily on picture books, illustrated storybooks, and youth novels, but taking account also of curricular aids, illustrated full translations of the poem, and songs. Contributors address issues of gender, historical context, war and violence, techniques of narration, education, and nationalism, investigating both the historical and theoretical dimensions of bringing \u003ci\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/i\u003e to child audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: \u003cem\u003eBeowulf \u003c\/em\u003ein and near Children\u0026amp;#x2019;s Literature\u003cbr\u003eBritt Mize\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1. \"A Little Shared Homer for England and the North\": The First \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003eMark Bradshaw Busbee\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.
