Beowulf: A New Verse Translation

UK precedence: Faber & Faber (London) 1999 is the true first, ahead of Farrar, Straus & Giroux (New York) 2000 as first American (an FSG facing-page Old English / Modern English 'bilingual' issue also appears under the 2000 imprint). Note a source conflict: Wikipedia loosely dates both the London and New York editions to 1999, but the physical FSG US hardcover is dated 2000 and dealer records consistently give Faber 1999 the precedence — the London 1999 first is the collected point.
