I just read Rotgé's French translation. It was good.
Why won't bongs read their own epic?
There are other translations than the ones by Headley and Purvis, you know.

I love Beowulf and I am a bong. But to answer your question: probably because the ruling class is descended from Norman admixture, who disregarded Anglo-Saxon culture in favour of French romances and Arthurian legends; therfore such things are seen as more cultured than something like Beowulf.
As a proud Anglo-Saxon peasant, though, I adore Beowulf.

Why do Old English retards (scholars) say "hwet" has no modern English equivalent when "what" exists?

Malcolm Guite should write an epic based on the Lambton Worm, a much more fitting epic for the noble ANGLO racehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ_uXmUvDsE

Beowulf isn't an epic in the same way that the Greek cycle or the Song of Roland (for example) are. As in, it's not nearly as deeply inculcated in the public imagination.The poem itself only became widely known in the scholarly community in the 19th century with the re-examination and cataloguing of the Nowell Codex and then initial studies in the 1890s by Thorkelin, and it took until Tolkien first published a few essays in the 20th century for the public to learn about it more generally. Compare that to Virgil or Homer who have been continually read and studied since antiquity.
