Dick Ringler taught "Beowulf" for decades at the University of Wisconsin, and has just put out a new translation from the old English. He reads a bit of it and talks about the poem with Jim Fleming. Ringler tells Jim the classic story of the poem and dismisses the two new movie versions because they don't stick to the original story.
