    Descriptive Notes

    160 pp.; color. A large-format book focused on the art created for the film Beowulf (2007, dir. Zemeckis). Hundreds of images by a score of artists (listed here in the order of their work's first appearance in the book) include concept work and developments toward the film's final imagery, along with text explaining many aspects of the film's visual creation. The main content is preceded by Zemeckis's preface and Gaiman's foreword.

    Gummere's translation is quoted repeatedly, in the form of chapter epigraphs, without attribution by name (pp. 11, 19, 71, 107, 160); the only citation given for these snippets of text is a general one to Project Gutenberg (p. 158).

    Several of the images in the book appear also in Beowulf: A 16-Month 2008 Calendar (2007), there without attribution to the artists.
