Alfgar's Stories from Beowulf is a work of original fiction by noted medieval literary scholar E. L. Risden adding to the traditional tale of Beowulf, a heroic Scandinavian monster-slayer. Inspired by the original epic, Risden has created a work of gripping adventure and deep emotion. In "Grendel's Mother," Risden approaches Beowulf from the perspective of the feral monster of the same name from the epic. "Lay of the Last Survivor" tells of a fated man who finds himself alone, the sole inheritor of a violent and greedy culture. "Scyldingasaga" goes back to the past before Beowulf, to the exploits of Scyld, Beowulf's legendary ancestor, events that ultimately set the stage for the famous poem. In "Freawaru's Lament," Risden builds on a digression in Beowulf to the story of a woman whose marriage leaves her trapped between two families in conflict that can only end in tragedy for her.
