Coldwell - Related Works 4: Grendel by John Gardner (1972). Beowulf retold from the monster's existentialist perspective. A new take on a familiar tale which prefigures the retelling of the Eyam plague in Coldwell. As with Owd Jack, Grendel can see through the human society he observes and opposes.
