When Grendel told the tale the alliteration was much rougher, and the narrative style was spotty, at best. Perhaps that’s why the other version lasts. Shakespeare slandered Richard so badly, he’d still be in litigation, if Henry had left any relatives living. Considering who owns the final press, I wonder sometimes what we’ll look like when the dust settles. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Intriguing and thought-provoking. Writing often evolves into a life of its own... after the dust settles. And I heard somewhere that Grendel's version was beastly! |

Hey Ida, thanks! Nicole, yeah. And people are always willing to believe the best story, or shall I say, would rather believe the best story? Truth tends to be a little less interesting. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
